It just seems stupid. He obviously can remotely control it, so why be putting himself in danger when he can’t even handle himself in the battlefield?

I believe the Watsonian explanation is input delay making him less effective than in person (though I think he used remote control at this point in the comics?).
The Doyalist explanation is it allows tension around whether he will live or die rather than having him be perfectly safe in 99% of scenes he is in.
