I've tried looking up solutions and I tried everything I could imagine so far but I found nothing on why this trigger doesn't load my map.

I read things like these saves shouldn't contain space or being too long, and I even made it work once. However, once I replaced my maps (due to renaming them) and adjusted the save/load references, it just keeps kicking me out to the campaign screen, even with short references like main01.w3z. Does anyone have more familiarity with that trigger?

The length restriction is not just the name of the folder(s) the maps are in, but actually the full file system path to the maps folder. I know that sounds crazy but it really is where that limitation comes from. So if the path to get to the map is too long because your wc3 install is on another drive in a folder of a folder of a folder (or something similar) you may hit the limit even with maps that have short names. Make a temporary maps folder on your desktop and test from there to see if that resolves the issue.

The problem is that I didn't change the map folder. I had a (seemingly) working transition in my campaign. I duplicated the campaign for safety then replaced the maps in the duplication with shorter names. I even shortened the campaign file name. Yet it still kicked me into the campaign screen. So, the problem can't be the file name because those only got shorter.
