It not only made little sense from a storytelling perspective but it's something that could EASILY backfire. I'm not surprised Angela suggested it (she WAS grieving her son) but HRG should have put the kibosh on the plan immediately. He's smarter than that.
On the commentaries on the Heroes Season Three DVD sets one of the producers said that basically Peter's power is the same as Arthur's but since he's good he uses empathy to double the power rather than steal it. In other words, if Peter wanted to and figured out how to do it, he could steal Sylar's powers and leave him powerless. Only problem with that solution is that he would be stuck with Sylar's "hunger" unless he figured out how to take every power but Intuiative Aptitude. Honestly, "The Hunger" was one of the stupidest plots twists from last year. Aside from the fact that it makes Sylar seem like a victim it completely glosses over his murder spree in year two when he was powerless.
I think the interesting characters that transition to the graphic novels should probably simply just resurface on the show.
