Why, oh why, did they take out the boss rush mode in the HD version along with the "Snake vs Monkey" mini game and that dream where Naked Snake dreams about being a vampire and killing monsters? I really don't get why they removed such great content because they didn't remove anything in MGS2: Subsistence HD. 

I don't know about the boss rush and Snake vs. Monkey removals, but I do know that Kojima didn't know about the vampire-zombie dream-minigame until after the game's release, so he probably had that one removed.

 

They also took out the Secret Theater though, which makes me sad T_T

It does kind of suck, but it's not that big a deal.

But I liked playing the "Snake vs Monkey" mini game and boss rush mode. Those were one of the things that always made me go back and play MGS3 again.

So did I, but it's not like they were crucial parts to the story. They were like the skateboarding game in Substance, which also was taken out for the HD collection. Just fun little distractions. That's why I've kept my copy of MGS3 on PS2, anyway.

Just because it's not part of the story doesn't mean that it should be taken out.

This is true. Personally, though, I didn't really like the 'Snake's Nightmare' minigame.
