By "no valid reason" are you saying that when 44 was designed and constructed they should have known that the Villages would build south and add four major intersections? Perhaps the "poorly engineered" intersections were engineered very well for the traffic they were intended to carry.

I don't recall the last time I went straight across 44 at any of those intersections but it doesn't appear that the slight rise towards the center of 44 would be any problem at the posted speeds of 35mph or less.

Note: If this comment and the original post were about a slight difference in the level of the roadways at the point where they meet (a small bump) then that certainly could be due to the multi-year resurfacing project for 44 from 301 to the county line.
