That feedback means that you are still lifting things with your own muscles, and the exoskeleton is just augmenting that by supporting you. Lifting something with an exoskeleton is more like lifting something with help (where you get to sum the BLs of the lifters) than it is like telling a robot (or using a forklift or jack) to lift something. If it was like a robot arm, and just moved around without regard for the movement of the limb inside, that would be bad, for obvious reasons.

Sure, but superheros are already silly! Superhero powered armor isn't really the same thing as realistic powered exoskeletons and probably ought to use different mechanics.
