We seem to simply be Bible thumpers without any continuing insights via the revelatory process.

Theology and academic pursuits thereof are obviously very important to you. There is nothing wrong with that. But I imagine you are in a very small minority of Mormons in that way.
The answer to your question is that the reason Joseph Smith had so many revelations was because those plain and precious things needed to be restored. Since his time, there have been things revealed from time to time, but the fulness of the gospel was restored through Joseph Smith.
What we need, is not more revelation, but more understanding (spiritual, not academic) and application of the existing revelations.
