I use the word creative lightly because the trump card was always whatever switch had just been finished by Kengo, but it felt a lot like an inexperienced, lucky superhero should.

Well, keep in mind that the Fourze suit wasn't designed for combat, it was designed for space exploration. Ostensibly all of the switches should be useful in some way for an astronaut - key word "ostensibly."

I heard a theory - probably on HJU Radio - that Kengo's father designed the switches while he was dying on the moon and that some of the stranger switches were the results of him running out of oxygen. I like that theory almost as much as the one that Yuuki's increasing dementia is a result of standing too close to Gentaro when he transforms and getting exposed to cosmic radiation.
