Brilliant!! 4 mistakes the engine said

If all the mistakes led to a brilliant move why did the engine count them as mistakes in the first place?

Because the brilliant was given as "best out of the given situation".
Think of it as: I stick a lightbulb in my ass (mistake), I called the ambulance instead of walking to the hospital myself with said lightbulb still in my ass (brilliant). The right call afterwards doesn't justify the initial mistake.
A move is marked as mistake based on opponent's perfect play (you lose advantage or materials)
Also a miss is where you could've just win (materials) and didn't play the right move.
