LOL the events you refer to were just as much a retcon/addition in their own right as anything in this film.

Why would the justice department allow the journalist to possess Michaels mask and use it for an interview with someone already prosecuted and sentenced
|
Because it's been since 1978, the Michael story is still not completely understood and explained, and therefore worthy of attention, just like unsolved murders etc.
As to why it was "allowed", I would imagine the proper channels were followed and that it was not deemed to be a risk factor that they attempted to interview him.
I personally wonder more HOW they had the mask.

Why would you make Laurie Strode tough as nails and fully prepared only to make her weak as hell and make many stupid mistakes in the final confrontation
|
Because she's old? She's human? She thought she had it all locked down and the sudden reappearance of Michael plus the threat to her actual family threw her a bit, I'd say.
I mean hell...she did ok?

Why would they have Laurie Strode have a son in H20 only to switch to a daughter
|
Because that's H20. This is Halloween 2018 - the only thing this movie needed to worry about fitting into was the original title, not any of the sequels/reboots.

The problem with sequels and remakes is that those in the creative process are not getting any genuine feedback and just allowed to run amok at our expense when we pay to watch these movies after hyping it up, only to be let down.

I dunno...I feel like they'd have got inundated with feedback...and I have to say you do seem to be somewhat A minority with how you feel about this movie. The vast majority of people I've encountered loved it...because it stayed true to the theme, atmosphere and style of the original. Aside from the original Halloween 2, I don't think much of the series has come close to attaining that status.
Just me, I liked it fine.
