If you read a bit more closely (LRH page 15, General Description of
Dragons), you will see that the dragons are partially spiritual,
partially physical beings, not just spiritual.  After all, how could you
damage a spiritual being with physical weapons?  If dragons were only
spiritual, then we would only use WordRunes to fight them.

Reread the rules about dragon combat, RuleBook page 17, Fighting Dragons.
 It says that LightRaiders are never to initiate combat with a dragon. 
The dragon get the first swipe.  So, dragons do not have the "death
sentence" that orcs and goblins do.

So, why don't they have the "death sentence"?

Since they do not have the death sentence when they are grown, all the
while have obviously caused untold damage, why should you crush their
eggs to prevent further evil?  It doesn't seem "right" to kill the babies
before they have done anything though you are not allowed to go out and
hunt the adults for the specific purpose of killing them.

Personally, the fewer dragons the better, but that is not what the game
says.

Are unborn innocent or not?  What have the unborn done to deserve death?
