If they wanted to make some zombies tougher than others, they could've easily gone another way without heading into the mystical.

Have former riot police zombies in body armor, for example. Make them tough to take down.

...IMO.
Without some of the unique abilities, it would take away from the fun of playing those different zombies in multiplayer games. Now, it's fun to get cycled through the Smoker, Hunter, and Boomer - and the occasional tank as they all play differently. It's not just about making them tougher to take down.
