This is a planned feature, but there's more to this than that. Lemme explain.

Firstly: The Eagles of Manwë and the Fell-Beasts of Mordor were actually going to be added fairly early, and would be winged mounta to make it easier to get around the map. However, they were replaced by the fast-travel system, and were pushed into the far future.

When added, the Eagles will almost certainly not be usable in combat without major quests. Their focus will still likely be as a mount to counter Fell-Beasts.

Secondly: If you think Olog-hai are overpowered to the degree that you need eagles to stop them, then you've been trying to fight them with a dagger on superflat. It is easy to outmanuever an Olog; they're large, and you can kill an army of them with a pike, no armor, and a small tree. You just need to find a space they can't get into, or make your own.
