Any change in the batting order puts certain amount of additional pressure on a player, in terms of approach in batting, style, changed conditions, role in the game plan etc etc. In the process he might lose his form.
Emnite, we have 1000 complains about the standard of DPL, but when convenient we just bring it up to fiddle with the players of national team. When a player is in national fold, it's only his performance at the int level that counts.
Since he is doing well in this position, he should just be left alone and be allowed to improve his batting around that position.

in a lot of situations this is true, but even though alot of the current BD players have been in the team around 5 years (pretty decent amount of time, i mean that's a solid career already), most of them are still developing players. even the best 3 batsmen in shakib, tamim and mushy are all still developing their games so depending on how their games develop they could be moved around the batting order with their development.
tamim obviously should stay as an opener, shakib possibly could jump up to #4, he's ready no doubt, mushy has now developed his game to the point where he could be successful higher up the order, he hasn't completely proven it yet but he's had some good knocks at times when batting higher.
i understand your poit of view though, the whole reason this comes about is because the top order don't often perform other than tamim whereas the middle/lower order do, combine that with the time it takes to develop a BD player once they hit the national team and you can see why the selectors/management/coaches/captain try to push a lower order performing player higher up the order before trying someone completely new (or already tried but failed).
