Technically, they don't actually lose any levels or leveling up points. It's just that the level gap for kiwame is larger, so when the points get ported over to this new kiwame system, it seems like they decrease in levels.

You can also think about it this way, if they didn't switch to kiwame, they'd probably be lifting the level cap which still means more work.

Anyways, kiwame is optional. If having to re-level up your toudan troubles you so much, you don't have to do it.
