Every Hexenbiest you just named is exceptionally powerful. Juliette and Adalind are made hexenbiests and Elizabeth is powerful enough to not only work for the royals but powerful enough to catch a royals eye and win his affection. Adalind before power restoral and Catherine are what we would consider to be average amongst hexenbiests, stong enough to be useful but weak enough that the royals didn't enlist them. They demonstrated none of the abilities you described. I want to fangirl all over hexenbiests too but reallisticly, Grimms can kill them. Its their job. Kelly killed Catherine. Just as Nick could not physically confront the devil-like wesen because of the flames, so too does he have difficulties against hexenbiests, but his blood power establishes him a naturally superior.

It is unlikely that a wesen-centric organization would entrust an ordinary person, a single man, to recover Adalind and her baby. He wouldn't even be able to anticipate attacks if he can't see the woge. For instance, if he encountered an enemy hexenbiest, he wouldn't be able to identify her as such unless she allowed it, and resultantly could not prepare to deal with her. Between quills, scorpion tails, psychic powers, fire breathing, and the like, the ability to recognize your enemy is vital.
