Princess Celestia isn't as kind as you think she is. If you look at it from a historical view she is literally following the rules of Machiavelli the Prince almost down to a tea. She removed Luna when she was corrupted by nightmare moon because she was a threat to not only her power but also the state. By making her an example she put fear into her subjects that if they did something wrong she would banish them as well. I could go into deep reasons and other but that would be a massive headache and I think the nightmare moon is the best example for the moment.
