For derivation of equation for stationary wave, y1=Asin(kx-omega t) and y2=Asin(kx+omega t) are considered. Why y1=Asin (kx-omega t) and y2=Asin(kx+omega t+pi) cannot be used to derive?

See below
Explanation:
Now:
So we now have:
Whilst it's spatial and temporal phase may not suit, that certainly defines a stationary wave.
