They were not designed as a replacement for the Kendo Kata. Hence, they don't even use the word kata in the actual name. They were made as an introduction to the basic kendo techniques, but using the bokuto. They are designed to be close to shinai kendo, but also to serve as a platform for learning the Kendo Kata as well. They are a great addition to kendo teaching materials.
