Why not use mains as centers

Is there a reason I should'nt use two good bookshelfs or smaller towers for my center if I have two center outputs and available amp channel?

If your speaker fits under or on top of the monitor, I would say it should be better than a center channel. It seems like all the specialized cabinet design that manufacturers tout as a reason to buy their speaker goes out the window with center channel design.
