I know I've tried to bring visiting friends through the area before (either stopping at Mariano's for a snack or wine, or showing them the nice park in the center of the development), but I'm always baffled at the poor connectivity to the lakefront path.

Welcome to the forum!
In short, the Site I and other proposals were rejected by the Alderman in 2017 over his objections to lakefront access. You can go to page 1 of this thread to judge for yourself. The new proposal should have a heavy emphasis on helping people get from LSE to the lake.
As for Navy Pier, the bike bridge connecting Olive Park and the south branch of the Chicago River should help somewhat.
