While I do think it would have made more sense to make Haku a female, in Japan there are other animes with characters exactly like Haku, it's a thing there, so I think it's unfair to call Kishimoto sexist in that regard, he just was following a tradition. And I don't think Kishimoto is sexist, Japan has a very awkward population (No I am not racist) I can link a youtube video if anyone is interested), a lot of people in that CULTURE just have been brought up in such a way their social skills are lacking to the point where they would rather have digital girlfriends instead of real ones. Kishimoto probably just didn't know how to relate to women well, and he was lazy. I don't think he was sexist. In fact there was a little bit of a sexism combat theme in the Five Kage vs Madara fight, despite Madara destroying the five kage faster than the Wild E Coyote accidently commits suicide, Tsunade did prove herself a capable fighter and strong person, and it had nothing to do with her sex at all.
