It makes me sad when Riot change things and don't let us use the old options
I find the new health bars very strange and hard to keep up with. I understand they want less to be updating but it really wouldn't be too much.

Like all changes (I'm personally fond of the uproar around updates to the Facebook UI), it takes time to get used to them. For some of the more egregious stuff -- in particular, the new shaking animation on burst damage -- Riot has provided an option to disable.
Supporting legacy systems on top of new ones (which is essentially what you're asking for) comes at a cost in terms of time and resources. I'd personally rather we get Champion reworks and new content at a faster pace instead of being adverse to a simple UI update.
I still miss the old Kog'Maw and Talon
I didn't like the healthbars we've had the last several years when they were first released. Give it a couple weeks and you won't even notice it.
It would be counter-productive to keep the old as that would have to be updated along with the new. Give feedback and time to get adjusted.
