Telekenesis and Re-Spawning seemed like vastly superior powers

Hardcore Henry was a brutal war machine, yet it didn't seem like he was the "holy grail" of superpowers.

Jimmy could replicate himself into physical form and regenerate at will. Aken used telekenesis to literally lift objects and people and thrown them far distances. Henry couldn't even figure out that standing behind the end of tank barrel was smarter than trying to outrun it. His cybernetics were prone to failure and could be ripped out.

Wouldn't the baddies be better served by harnessing those other skills?

I couldn't believe when I read his filmography that he played a toilet (no joke) in According to Jim

It kept the film interesting, cause you didn't know if Henry could stop Akan.

Jimmy actually just built himself a finite amount avatars or clones that couldn't regenerate. He would switch when the others died or were too badly wounded. He may have had extra in his lab but they probably weren't fully operational.
