This always confused me. I understand that it's puppets, but they already have costumes of the puppet characters.

Try picturing what their costume forms would look like dancing.
It would not look good.

The screenshot you took was from season 1. I don't think they even had puppet costumes by season 1.
Like glanni said it wouldn't look good. And we wouldn't have the clip of Ziggy messing around with carrots. That clip is artNote

Yeah, like didn’t the costumes of the other characters come out until season 3/4.
Plus, I don’t think some kids would like when a character had a functioning face during the episode then all a sudden the character’s face, wouldn’t move for the song like as in their face is frozen, that’s just a little bit creepy. Isn’t Bing Bang also supposed to be a look back at the day in Lazytown and a dance part too. And the only time they normally need the costumes, if it’s a far away long shot or bird’s eye angle. And the costumes for the characters in the episodes, most of the time they’re facing a side angle or having their body turned to the opposite direction of the camera so the viewers don’t look at they’re blank faces.
Not to mention if the costumes had a functioning face during the episodes, it would be really heavy and very hard to see through as there are actual kids inside the costumes probably around the ages of 6/7 to maybe 12. And the puppeteers would regardlessly have to puppeteer the heads on the costumes through a control system. I have heard from other children’s shows puppeteers that those functioning heads feel like your wearing a lawnmower on your head, if you want to know what it kind of feels like
