I really see different possibilities for interpretation there. But that's me, others may have different opinions.
And you need to watch with your Tav, because it greatly affects the impression. This is just advice to wait for the patch.

I've seen the full animations for all three kisses, yes. They may look slightly different on different Tavs, but (in my opinion) they don't leave any room for interpretation. I've watched them many times and tried to look at them differently, but I really don't recognize my character in them.

I assure you that from seeing the new expressions in a video to playing them with your own TAV, things change and a lot.
This is why I think that before putting your hands up and saying "No, I don't like them", wait for the patch to come out and see.
I, who have always supported the request to change the TAV expressions making them happy, when I saw and played the new ones for the first time with my TAV, I didn't like them very much at first. Then I looked at them again and I liked them, I saw my TAV happy, even if confused/surprised in many moments. I repeat, more than 90% of the new expressions are neutral. And I'm not just saying this for the sake of it, but because it's true! Even analyzing the game files, the expressions used fall into the "neutral" category. On the contrary, always analyzing the game files, it was seen that all the faces used in the current expressions in kisses with AA, fall into the fear/suffering category.
So maybe at the moment you think the new faces don't give space for interpretation but in my opinion, and I have played with them, it's not true. Wait to see.
I understand that new expressions may not be liked, but patch 7 has not yet officially come out and we don't know how the majority of the players with react to them.

I can't agree that they look neutral. The only moment that still looks neutral at all to me is Tav's surprise when he bites their lip.
The request being made here is also for an option to keep the original expressions for those of us who liked them, not to change the new ones before they are released. So I don't think waiting until the patch is released to give our feedback would be a good idea. Patch 7 was also announced to be the last major patch, so I think it's reasonable to make our suggestions while there is still a chance they will be seen and maybe taken into consideration.

From what I know, also said by the moderators who follow those who are in the beta test, at the moment the developers are focused on fixing bugs and problems that do not allow the correct functioning of the game.
We have not been denied to send feedback, but they have repeatedly said that it is not their priority. And it will be like this until the official release of patch 7.
It may also be that they will take this request of yours into consideration, but given that your request is something that takes time to implement and that the patch has been announced for September, I do not know if they will be able to implement it yet.
But, who knows.
However, in my opinion, it is right to say to wait for the release of the patch and to personally try the new expressions before giving a final judgment. Even just out of respect for the developers who have worked on it for months.
You yourself are basing your opinion on videos, therefore expressions seen on other TAVs. As has already been said by others here, the expressions (even if the same ones), change, have a different rendering based on the sex, the chosen face, the race and even the body of the TAV.
