You're right but I am going to tell you why it's better that he stay that way.
In a one on one fight with no weapons or anything but their fists, 9.99 times out of 10 the Brute will win. It'd be like fighting a rhino mixed with a gorilla but only with the intelligence of a human. So basically it'd be really hard to kill.
With guns, the fighting is a little more fair. In close quarters the Brute still has the upper hand but the ODST has a lifetime of training against the Brute who probably just joined because everyone else did. In long distance fights, the Brute doesn't really stand a chance over the ODST.
If you have read the books, ODST's are one step lower than Spartans but one step higher than Marines. They are body builders, and highly trained special ops soldiers of the UNSC.
Also, in Halo 3 Sergeant Johnson punched the chest plate of a Brute Chieftain, not the bear skin of a normal Brute. The Chieftains, as metioned before, are stronger than normal Brutes and probably have much better armour.
So what is my point? A Marine might be able to land a punch and do some damage while and ODST will be able to land a punch and do some damage... just not nearly as much as a Spartan. Some of the strength of the ODST also comes from gameplay. No one wants to play a game where they stand no chance against their enemies. Losing wouldn't even be frustrating it would be boring because it happens so often. I personally like where the melee strength in this game is.
almost right except that brute have the intelligence of a donkey
Now that you stated that, I think brutes are even smarter than you.
