Bart in the Simpsons and Bart in Treehouse of Horror are two different characters altogether. The main difference being that the Simpsons mostly sticks to reality while TOH is essentially the ultimate what-if that throws out the rule book and does whatever it wants.

Also keep in mind most of these forms and abilities you mention are exclusive to a single episode and never appear elsewhere. If Bart could turn into Bartzilla or stop time, why doesn't he do that in the actual show? The answer: he can't because the actual Bart doesn't use tools or abilities like that due to the canon Simpsons world being (mostly) based in reality.
