That's because Mystery Incorporated returned to the show's roots in a sense. They gave it a more drastically retro look, which I didn't mind. It was also the second show (other than 13 Ghosts) to include a linear story, that involved not just revolving around the same formula in going to some random spooky place and unveiling the same bad guys in a mask, but it became something of an even bigger mystery.

But back to Daphne, I think Mystery Incorporated was supposed to be a nod to the original Scooby-Doo format. The gang went back to their original wardrobe, the supporting characters in a way reflect a more 70s-esque era (especially in a fashion sense), and it gave a little more depth and backstory to Mystery Inc. in general.
