Why do super minions HEAL, and have sky high defense.

Super minions are truly outrageous, they heal for insane amounts and those nexus turrets that you trust to defend the almighty powerful nexus. CANT EVEN KILL a super minion without going to 100% to 30%, which is easy to destroy at that point. Super minions are really overwhelming if your team is behind and wants to farm, take jungle/baron/dragon. or just do anything because you MUST baby sit the lane with super minions while the other team can push other lanes apply pressure everywhere and take objectives. Give super minions more attack but lower or just get rid of their healing, and lower their defenses because nexus turrets cant even handle them.

An inhibitor is a HUGE objective for exactly this reason...

In general, it's why an ideal team comp has at least one champion that can waveclear quickly and deal with super minions. The remaining 4 champions can push other objectives if you happen to get an advantage.

More often than not if it's 1 inhibitor to 0, it's the mid lane one (yes I've had top or bot a few times, but I'd say about 80-85% are mid lane first). Meaning more often than not you want to 5-man push that same lane and even out the inhibitor if you take an advantage.

I can be beyond fed on Xin, wipe out waves nearly instantly, and still get fucked up by a super minion. It's not like champs aren't doing damage, it's that the super minions are too stronk.

Well they wouldn't be very super if they weren't powerful

Supers are meant to be game enders. They shove lanes hard, take a long time to kill and deal above average damage for a creep. If they weren't tanky games would last for ages since you would always have to ace the enemy team to push the double towers.

you MUST baby sit the lane with super minions while the other team can push other lanes apply pressure everywhere and take objectives.

And that's their reward for taking an inhib. Taking an inhib is meant to make it harder to defend the base. If supers weren't tanky then taking inhibs would be useless as the double towers would just kill them, in fact it would actually favour the team having the inhib taken on them as they can just farm the waves for an infinite supply of gold.
