These hands all have the chance to flop a piece of the board, or a strong draw. None of the pairs you make with these hands are going to play for big pots.
All your strong aces, you are betting for value, and not ATS. The weak aces that you bet to ATS will get called by stronger AX often enough to make these hands poorly suited to play a big pot post-flop.
Fundamentally, if you raised to steal the blinds and it didn't work AND you whiffed the flop, then check/fold OTF. If your opponent is exploiting this, then you are probably ATS too often.
Just because you wanted to steal the blinds, doesn't mean that you can play bad poker post-flop.
If opponent is playing Loose-Passive with a high Fold to Flop CBet, then you should be able to Cbet almost every flop profitably (missed or not) and give up your air when villain continues with the hand, no?
