those loopholes and ambiguities should be left to the courts to decide with representation from both sides of the argument making their case and not some department head full of political bias and possibly an axe to grind favoring one side.

This assumes a US Supreme Court that doesn’t exist in 2024. If you want it changed, you would have to either wait till the judges change, or expand the courts.
That’s still deferring, just to the courts instead. The demand was for Congress to not defer that responsibility, and they literally can’t do that.
Deferring to agencies was not absolute. Courts could overrule if agencies were not being reasonable in their interpretation.
