I don't think Dick is one to make a fuss. Wally's birthday was part of an episode that focused on him maturing, thus his birthday and officially being a year older seemed to fit in with the plot. (It also happens to be on Veteran's Day.) There was also the continuation of the theme of 16 in that episode was well.
