Losing map objectives when boss checkpoint triggers

What's the point??? I'm going through my map on my awesome rhoa mount (which is completely useless) unless someone tells me what the point of it is, besides reserving 60 spirit so I can ride on a cool looking mount. I'm clearing my juiced rituals then find the boss checkpoint, activate it. Afterwards I die to some rare mob and then my ENTIRE progress on that map is gone and there is only 1 mob alive >the map boss. Cool thanks for the extra portals and all but what is the point of that??? So the only workaround is not to trigger the boss checkpoint so you can keep your map once you die. I didn't even attempt the boss , but get a punishment???

okay, so I guess I have to go to boss straight then, once I find the checkpoint. I usually safe the boss for last , because my character is squishy. The "bug" still exists, if you don't kill the boss after activating the checkpoint.

Nope, the point is they didn't fix it

Yes, and rhoa removes movement speed penalty when using skills

You must be the #1 helper in these forums how helpful. Let me see you in a map with all these negative modifiers with delirium and also stacking rarity on your gear, smartass.
