What you're basically theorizing is that they've decided not to let Clark progress or develop (much) because they want to spring it all on us at the end of the series. So, basically, he's running in place until the series finale.

That doesn't wash for me. There have been plenty of shows, on for 5, 6 or 7 years, in which the characters developed over the entire course of the series. They were a little different in season two than they had been in season one. A little different in season three than they had been in season two. Etcetera.
The writers being unable to show Clark growing and developing over the course of the series shows a lack of creativity and skill on their parts. Instead of letting Clark grow (make mistakes, learn from them, make new mistakes, learn from them, make new mistakes, learn from them, etc.) they've chosing to have Clark make the same old mistakes over and over and over again, and seemingly learn very little as a result.
