They removed cougar form resistances because, hang on, let me quote the patch notes:

"GIving free defensive stats on Aspect of the Cougar muddies the core gameplay themes of her Cougar form, so we wanted to bring it back to its roots.... and to entice AP Nidalee players to jump into the fray from time to time, rather than just chuck spears all day."

So to entice people to play part of a champion that does all of its damage at melee range, they removed her survivability.

Riot logic.
