Not every cyclops in out to eat demigods. Many cyclops work in Poseidon's kingdom, and some might even smith with Hephaestus.

Well, Hera couldn't tell the two heroes what they were doing in the other camps, because it would ruin the experiment. People are often kicked out of social experiments for knowing what the 'wrong' and 'right' answers are. It's supposed to be as real as possible, therefore, both heroes needed to be adopted by the other camp and become one of them. Genuine experiences and genuine friendships, made through living, not through a goal. While I'm sure some campers on either end would just straight up agree to teaming up, it still brings up the matter of people like Octavian, who want to destroy the others. If a Greek showed up at New Rome and said, "hey Hera says we have to team up, there's a camp full of Greek demigods in NY," Octavian would find any way to circumvent Reyna's authority and slaughter every Grecian Demigod they could find.

While yes, the Argo II accident did put such an event into play, there was no telling that would happen. Sending in a Greek who blatantly says they're a Greek would absolutely result in slaughter.

Also, you can't just decree 'case closed'. It doesn't work like that in a debate.
