Heck think about it, if a clan is able to give birth to a man that can easily control the Tailed Beasts, wouldn't you want to prevent more from being born? Think back on Tsunade's flashback. Nawaki was a Genin yet he died during his first mission outside Konoha. This is why I believed that all the KNOWN Senju were wiped out while those UNKNOWN were integrated to the civilians in secret.

One of them is a man we all know well. A man whose jutsu originated from a Senju. A jutsu that one man can do yet it takes 3 Elite Jounin 16+ years to only able to use it when working together.

MN is a secret Senju. if Minato was a Senju it would have been stated in either the manga or the databooks so no Minato isn't a Senju.
