So I guess my question is thus, are these bonuses working or bugged? And what moron came up with this brilliant idea of giving magical bonuses to make your sub go faster and torpedoes hit harder?

I am not sure the use of the term "moron" is appropriate (at least not here), but why would you think that a feature that mimics the real world ability of people to learn and develop special skills that improve their performance is problematic?
- Increased Torpedo Damage = More thorough maintainence on torpedos.
- Reduced Chance of breakdown = Better maintainence of deisel engines.
- Increased submerged speed = Better maintainence on the motors.
All of these things happened in real life.
Plus before you go throwing around terms like that you might want to be sure that you understand the feature correctly.
