[General] I've recently acquired superpowers and want to do as much good as I can; why is it that stopping street crimes is okay, but going after white-collar criminals isn't?

Most authorities are willing to look the other way if I stop a mugging, but if I go after the billionaires and politicians who created and seek to maintain a society where muggings are commonplace, suddenly I'm a supervillain; what the hell is wrong with this picture?!

Why am I allowed to fight the symptoms, but not the disease itself?

You need to use the same level of force as the criminal.   In the case of street thugs, that usually means cracking some skulls.  But if you use the same methods on white collar criminals,  it's assault because there is no imminent threat and you're not protecting anyone physically. 

Instead,  use your abilities to collect evidence.  Break into secure locations and take pictures and video and steal or copy documents.  Give these to the authorities or press or simply upload them to social media yourself.   Set up stings and con them into giving up their money so you can give it back to the victims.

There are a lot of things you can do that won't end up in a standoff with a SWAT team.
