I think it gives the mudblood stuff a weird meta connotation of real world racism

precisely

"mudblood" is painted, from start to finish, as the wizarding world's "nigger" - it works much better as a metaphor for racism than it does as actual racism, especially when multiple races are already depicted in the books

it's also a reminder of the important fact that discrimination in all worlds isn't just about race, that even if someone is white some arsehole will still find something different about them to mock and derogate them for, be it family upbringing or social or economic class (and remember 90s britain was all about class war) or being a ginger or whatever - making hermione black belittles that
