Most antivirus I tested, even the paid ones, are so annoying with popups and complaining about cracks that I just take the risk and go without em

Windows defender claimed they’re bad because they are cracks, and doesn’t mention any reason it thinks that would be a virus/trojan or something I dont want

“HackTool:Win32/crack” from games downloaded on fitgirl repacks site (the correct one)

Windows defender only lets you whitelist by file, folder, or process. You could whitelist a specific folder, but if you want to whitelist by category you’ll have to use a different antivirus product.
