We have only seen two types of cannons and one of them (moveable but weak) were shown to be ineffective and at best only good at slowing down a Titan. The bigger more powerful ones on the walls obviously more for defense.

They need guns with higher caliber

I'm not sure what you're getting at here. If the army had those and it were capable of killing a Titan, you would see more of them in use. Guns don't improve out of nowhere.

Those need to be invented first.

Build land mines outside the perimeter...Not rely on the walls...

Putting aside the question if they even have normal explosives to begin with, what's to stop gangs of Titan rushing soldiers as soon they step outside? Setting a Landmine (especially the old 14 century type ones) required extreme delicacy.

The point of the 3D Maneuvering Gear is take advangte of the higher mobility humans have compared to the Titans. It's not just there for them to swing about, but to make use of some weakness the Titans have though techniques and tactics. It also helps humans scale the walls much faster.
It seems to me your not looking at the tech from context of Shingeki no Kyojin's world, but by ours. Weapon development historically in the real world required many wars, tons of resources and various countries copy-cating each other then improving on the imitated tech to get where we are today. In Shingeki no Kyojin, humanity has been reduced to mere handful of million with practically every other country destroyed as far we know. Humans are limited in what they can do here due to lack of materials, which means they have to fight an extremely powerful foes while being as cost efficient as possible.
