And yet, the OT treated them like doofuses, and other incarnations mostly ignored them. They could be what the dark turtles were, and more interesting; it's not four clones of the original guys, but four 'this is what you could've been if Shredder raised you instead of splinter' enemies for the TMNT to fight.

Yet everybody hates them because they came from the OT and acted dumb there and nobody can see the potential.

They COULD be done well. But there's no room for them in IDW (except maybe as henchfrogs of Toad Baron, which will be INO) and Nick certainly bungled their appearance. But then, Nick didn't do very well with most reimaging of characters...
