While, in most canons, there is a general trend that digimon express an interest in learning about and assimilating human culture, there is still room for digimon that don't feel that pressure, whether they feel antagonistically towards humans, simply aloof, lack the advanced reasoning to even consider the concept, or if they have some higher belief in their identity as a digimon, a being without sex. In these cases, an agendered digimon is completely possible, though, in the vast majority of canons, they are in the minority.
But, in any event, the important thing is that gender is completely arbitrary and surface level to Digimon, and obviously wholly unrelated to a digimon's nonexistent sex.
I will say, one near universal is that Digimon that bond to humans SEEM to always identify with the same gender as their human partner. I'm sure there's an exception somewhere I've forgotten, I seem to remember Meicoomon being referred to inconsistently as both male and female, but am willing to blame the dub for that. By and large, though, I'd say that makes sense; partner Digimon usually share some reflection of the human's own traits, and are intended to be foils to them. It's only natural that such similarity would be seen by the digimon to mean they were as close as possible, including sharing a gender.
Say, Agumon bonds with Tai, and sees itself most like Tai, who is a boy. There's one boy Agumon is truly like, and no girls, ergo, Aguman thinks it MUST be a boy, but only in the sense that that choice is more like Tai than the alternative.
