The wind speeds they produce immense energy, why can't we make use of that for power?

Sporadic bursts of energy are not very useful. The electric network needs stable supplies of power, at most oscillating at daily (or rarely annual) frequency to respond to increased consumption.
Also, I very much doubt hurricanes' energy output is notable after time averaging.

Not to mention the cost for an infraestructure capable of reliably withstanding a hurricane's force while also using its energy would be too high.

They aren't reliable.

Nuclear reactors are better for power production than atomic bombs.
