Perhaps estimate to the ultimate waste of designs, is when you're questioning their very inception in the first place.

I'd rather have seen the Mage and Element Style costumes blurred together, with the show having four core Rider's throughout. Haruto could have been the Flame Mage, Mayu the Land Mage etc etc

I would assume it's because Fueki didn't want them to become too powerful. He let Haruto have essentially unlimited magical abilities and it ended up with him creating his own Infinity Ring, which was not part of the plan. By limiting the other three he prevented the possibility that they might all unlock stronger abilities and overpower him when it came time to strap them into his magical ritual thingy.
