I think subtypes aren't important enough.
Sure, Dragons and humanoids and animals are all important creature types, and help define how magic and skills affect them and are affected by them, but how about those more precise quantifiers, which speak to the very nature of a creature.
Is it a Fire Creature? Does its heart beat with the flicker of heat? Or maybe it can simply sit in flame, contemplating its glories, because fire does not reach past its thick skin.
Is it a lawful creature? The geometries of the world springing to its disciplined mind, no irregularity going unnoticed, no piece of chaos left untended to mar the surrounding world.
Suppose a being, particularly such magical creatures as Outsiders, Elementals, Fey, and Dragons, could explore this subtle nature of its existence. Perhaps there would be feats for him to tap into the power of this uncommon nature.
