Well, look at is this way.
If in Shinkenger, Takeru was always getting captured and needed to be saved from one of the other rangers, would you respect him or see his qualities as a leader?

Tsuruhime wasn't put in distress because from the perspective of the writer, it wouldn't make any sense.
She was the leader, the character the team was supposed to see as strong and brave. Putting her in situations where she needs constant aid would make her more of just another gun on the team.
She was also the intellectual and strategist of the team. She didn't rush forward, so she rarely stumbled into traps the more headstrong Seikai and Saizou would.

Also, it would've been really kind of distasteful to put the one female member in distress for the men to save over and over again.
Your issue isn't that Seikai and Saizou (And Jiraiya on, like, 2 occasions) were in distress, but that Tsuruhime wasn't a damsel in distress more often. She subverted the trope that the woman isn't capable of fighting unless she has a strong man behind her, and you found it a flaw?
