Well they do in the Grinverse

That's not Prime-Cannon material, & you know it.

I know but they are still funny

But here is the thing. There isn't a safeguard you could put on it. Let's say there is a registration. Let's say Xavier even registers that he is an alpha-class telepath capable of rendering everyone in the hemisphere brain dead if he so wished. So the Mutant Control Taskforce shows up and asks Xavier to come with them for the good of humanity. Xavier then decides that as a good person it doesn't make sense for a person who is by all accounts a good guy to spend his whole life in detention or worse lobotomized or executed. So he mindtricks all the members into thinking that he removed his powers and goes about his day. That's like the best case scenario from a good guy who doesn't want to cause an issue. At the end of the day there are still no safeguards.

Except in all canons mindfuck resistant helmets exist (otherwise no villain would ever be a threat)

Even ignoring said Helmets, have snipers or back up teams the other teams don't know about monitoring the situation. If Captain Xavier starts mindraping people then blow his bald head off.

And this is ignoring potential canons of mutant supressing drugs or knocking Xavier out and THEN talking to him once he is secured

That's with an alpha-level threat. There is no safeguard in the world against someone like Franklin Richards. If he wanted to he could recreate the world in a way that every anti-mutant politician was never born.

I can think of a few, and the fact he is so dangerous kinda proves how they need to exist.

Remember that movie Bruce Almighty? God went out of his way to ensure Jim Carrey couldn't interfere with Free Will because he would fuck up the world if he could.

Even God put safe-guards in place of someone that powerful.

You're asking why the anti-mutant people in the X-Men comics are the bad guys, when they advocate for preemptively killing off/sterilizing an entire percentage of the world's population before they've done anything wrong

Yeah sure, ones who want cap mutants in the head from birth are douchebags.

But we're talking about registration and safeguards here. That's reasonable, not evil.

Again if Lesbians could control the weather, you'd be cool with NO safe-guards in place whatsoever?

Oh yeah, and the most notable, dangerous faction of mutants came about because humanity treated them like garbage and picked a war with them. Oops!

I don't see how that's relevant.

First of all not everyone that's a mutant knows they are mutants. Abilities can be situational and people can believe they are some of kind of superhuman. Secondly people discover their abilities at different points in time, so if someone claims they just discovered their abilities it's going to be hard to prove otherwise.Thirdly pretty much all mutant registries, have ridiculous restrictions in place on the mutants being registered. From they have to be enlisted to they need 24h supervision.

So?

why limit it only to mutants and not all superhumans if you are worried about the dangers?

Cuz this topic is about X-men and how villains are portrayed in it.

Spiderman is not like that. In fact IIRC he supports 'meta-human' registration in the comics because he knows how dangerous they are.
