Sounds like you two should stop wasting time with easy courses. If you are as brilliant as you say, there is no way you can't get permission to skip prerequisites or transfer out.
Homework is easy, but it is busywork. What if I told you to whittle sticks for three hours a day? Homework is a waste of time. You are telling me to waste my time. When I work at FAANG, none of this will matter except the lost time.
I commend your modesty. In most CS (and EE) courses I'm familiar with, the homework is not mindless busywork but a path to mastery, though perhaps your school is different.
At many universities, students can also customize their course plan with department approval.
Usually you can take graduate courses without having completed the undergraduate prerequisites if you talk to the instructor. Perhaps you might find that more your speed.
If graduate courses are trivially easy for you and you've exhausted them all, you might consider taking the Ph.D. qualifying exams and moving directly into research.
If homework is considered easy, then perhaps you're at the wrong school? Ideally you should be in an environment where you feel like everyone else is smarter, and you're struggling just to keep up. Consider transferring to a different institution, your future self will thank you.

My recommendation: do the homework - you'll presumably breeze through it if you have mastered the material. If not, it will be a good refresher.
