I agree about the interchange's connectivity. It has the appearance of being a normal surface road, and I think most people would assume that the freeways had continuous service drives and that this surface road connected to them. But it's not the case at all, the surface boulevard is a glorified onramp.
My guess is that they figured that if the new boulevard connected with continuous service drives, that the service drives would be too good of a route and there would be too much traffic on them.
