As regards Oliver and Kaz, for most of Mighty Med's run, they were not superhuman. Additionally, I haven't actually seen Elite Force yet, so I can't make that decision until I've actually seen them use their superpowers and whether or not they can compare to even a depowered Skylar. But we all have our favorites and just because Skylar is the MM character who appeals to me most should not be interpreted as evidence I disapprove of Oliver and Kaz.

I do have a theory that may be relevant. I have observed that television production companies in general are moving away from anything related to sci-fi and as Elite Force is one of those, perhaps it was one of the shows affected. Given that these shows are often cancelled on cliffhangers and before they are even given a chance to prove their value, I suspect the reason to end them is not an unbiased decision.

Or it could be that they are just looking at the monetary issues and nothing else. A sci-fi show requires specific props to be fabricated, for example, you simply can't go out and buy a bionic regeneration tube or anything else similar. In most cases, you have to build entire sets made from tech gadgets. And some of it has to be real, like light up control interfaces, computer monitors, mechanical moving parts. And then there is the cost of CGI/special effects on top of all that.

So Austin and Ally might have been a less costly show to renew, because it's a "real world" show.
