"[...] no fictional character can achieve human performance through having those powers." Which powers are you talking about and from which point of view?

"Scientifically, no matter how humane a character gets, they can't cook you food irl, they can't participate in tournaments, and they definitely can't have human rights. "The opposite applies as well: No matter how much you resemble powers seen in fiction, let's say running, your running happens in the real world, and the character's happens in fiction. No matter how similar your running styles are, their power only exists in fiction, and yours only exists in real life." I never argued that fictional characters can transcend fiction to step into reality nor that we could descend into fiction. Actually, it being fundamentally impossible for transfictional beings to enter fiction and for fictional beings to leave it is a position I hold. And this is a false analogy as running is an action that has no effect on fiction, unlike writing (Author Authority), drawing (Meta Art Manipulation) or dreaming (Reality Dreaming).

"The only exception to this rule is Transfictional powers, such as AA. But I've already said why those aren't considered "superpower"s." The action of writing, typing, drawing, painting, dreaming, imagining, recording then editing, etc. are considered mundane in reality, but their effects on the fictional world would be seen as omnipotent reality warping by a character inside said fiction, yet it's the very same action that is only given different names under differing perspectives. That was my point.

"But in the end, it still comes down to the perspective. I am only talking about the definitions SPW uses." Exactly, and the Superpower Wiki's definitions are based on an in-fiction perspective, which is why Superpower Wiki doesn't consider transfictional powers a.k.a. mundane activities as powers.
