I think your post pretty much sums up the exact reason they want Kevin involved. Basicaly so they can point and say "SEE WE'VE GOT ONE OF THEIR CREATORS APPROVING OUR IDEAS".

We don't know if they're using any ideas from Kevin or to what extent he's involved. Historicaly speaking I'm not sure him being a part of this particularly means anything, I don't think he's the type to be the "bad guy" and go against the grain. Even if he was, he's not in charge so even if he stated he disagreed with a certain plot point or characterisation he needn't be listened to.

I could go along with the mutations being part of genetic experiments carried out by Stockgen or some other corporation, though I prefer it was it was done via flashbacks 15 years ago than use insta-mutagen.

I don't mind the reincarnation angle but I'm not sure I want it in a movie since we then have to deal with the reincarnation of Shredder too. But if they ignore this it the question how did Yoshi's pet end up as part of an experiment aaaand brain freeze.

This to me is why trying to make the origin more "realistic" or "badass" or whatever doesn't work for me. You can end up poking too many holes into these new twists that in the end it's best to just to the original.
