Why Cisco recommends having Wireless LAN Controller at Branch Office if there is more than 5-7 H-REAP LAP at Branch Office Location?

Because that many APs at the branch office will start killing the WAN link slowly. Because with that number of APs, the price of a 2106 is maybe worth the traffic avoided on the WAN link + reliability of having a wlc onsite.
It also allows to have the APs in local mode which adds more features, ease roaming etc ...
You can always do without, but at 5-7 APs it start to make sense to buy a 21xx WLC for the site.
