I just don't think about where they're coming from. Like I said, there's actually no explanation nor do their numbers make sense or any of that. In one Kett Base, I literally watched them appear out of thin air.

"....So even though you are god-pathfinder (maybe max level with max gear) but you have to put it in context of your level 30-40 character that the game was really designed around at that point..."
This isn't relevant to the point(s) made and I feel like the rest of your post goes further off topic. Because of that, I am just not understanding what you're trying to say. Again, I apologize.
But this isn't a situation about me thinking we should be able to do anything and everything. This is clear because I describe a scenario where we would be unable to do both right there and I would have accepted as much.
No, the problem is we did something. It doesn't matter if we barely did it or if we looked like gods while doing it (which is why this was irrelevant) the bottom line is, we proved to be capable of doing it. The base doesn't change, and Jaal even states we'll come back and yet we don't.
That is bad writing and that aspect of the mission was likely poorly written because they were too focused on their immediate goals/desires for that part. That is my opinion.
