That's the entire point of hacking, circumventing protections that the server has in place to get a response you were not supposed to get. The status code is irrelevant.

The same applies in the real world too. If I perform a social engineering hack and get you to pay a fake invoice, it's still theft (or fraud), even though someone willingly and deliberately sent you money.
