On the subject of the single riders, nowadays, it would sound less impressive than it did during Kuuga. It would raise the question, "How come this one guy has a specific superpower/role to defeat monsters?"
The problem with these shows is that they keep on "repeating" the same old sh*t. Time after time. Same story lines, same old plots, same old gimmicks. But being on the air year after year for decades. What "new " can you actually bring to table?

The movies are an investment, though. They spend money to make money. They put in a certain amount and then profit from ticket sales, DVD and Blu-Ray sales, merchandise, etc.
At the press conference for Drive's Surprise Future movie this year, Shirakura (producer) publicly stated that Toei have had complaints of making the summer movies "too special" and will handle it differently next year. We'll see how that works out ...
TOO special? I'm now worried for Ghost and 2016's Sentai's movie.
My thoughts on improvements: maybe make Super Sentai's stories a little less silly. Just my thoughts. It doesn't need to be uber serious like Man of Steel. Just maybe take its comedy/drama ratio from it Rider-neesan.
Here's the thing: viewer rates doesn't mean anything anymore. They no longer give a correct representation of popularity of a show. Toy sales do. Plus these shows are made to sell toys, That is their purpose. So all the things you mention would make better shows but not sell more toys in general.
Plus, when a current rider/sentai show reaches halfway, they already start on the new season. We're not even in the 40ies with drive and we have full scans of Ghost already.
I'm afraid you're missing the point of these shows...

Yeah that could be a problem repeating the same thing every thing is the same thing american shows did which lead them to a term called jumping the shark.
