If they had just condensed every one of them into a single mad scientist villain, and a single mobster villain, they would have at least created an actual character and a recurring villain, whose appearances would overall have more weight since it's the same guy trying new schemes instead of just another inexplicable mad scientist showing up and doing something once before disappering forever.

I don't mind the mob boss episodes as much because mob bosses are usually dangerous enough to pose a credible threat. Plus, they offer something new to the Turtles to fight against.
Mas scientists though? Baxter is/was one already. And Krang and even Shredder both qualify as mad scientists as well. So it just feels redundant and lazy to have random one-shot generic mad scientists as well to replace Shredder and Krang.
