I personally would have made it so that Missy was actually Jenny, the female clone of the Doctor, under control of an evil entity, maybe part of the master.

It wasn't lazy writing. It made complete sense, since The Doctor saved Gallifrey and The Master was ON Gallifrey thanks to the events that happened with the 10th Doctor. It makes perfect sense that The Master could return at that point. It was also, and more importantly, them testing something:
People have been wanting a Female Doctor for some time, and I believe them bringing us a female MASTER instead was to test how the majority of people would react to a major character suddenly changing genders.
I feel if Missy went over well, they will do a Female Doctor in the future.
