Mewtwo would have made the fight way too difficult and diminished Mewtwo's role as a Legendary, at least, at that point in the series history. Plus, Red canonically never caught Mewtwo.

And the point of his team was to have all of the Gen 1 starters, including a few gift or event Pokemon. Hence, why he has Pikachu instead of Raichu, and why he has Snorlax and Espeon (from the Eevee he can get in Celadon City). Though in HGSS, Espeon is replaced with Lapras, which still fits as a gift Pokemon since the only way to get Lapras in Gen 1 was from that guy in Silph Co.

Huh I forgot about the Eevee in celadon city, I like this explanation.

I don't know how I feel about the remakes replacing it with lapras though. I like lapras but not as a pokemon to fight. Blastoise already covers the water part, lapras's inclusion is super redundant...
