What the Clam produces is
steam jets not
mist:
Quote from physics website:
Mist is heavier (very small) water droplets, while Steam still more closer to vapor/ invisible gas. Steam can go higher and stay further in the atmosphere then Mist/Fog can. This is why you never see the actual "mist" of Gengetsu's Clam
because it isnt MIST.
Addressed he isnt escaping the wide range steam, much like Gaara, Onoki, and Muu (flying characters) couldnt do in canon to counter it. Indisputable.
For your premise to even work is admitting Deidara gets lucky with his victory. As I already addressed Gengetsu draws Deidara attention to fight in a different location away from the Clam. This is Gengetsu fighting style showed in canon and this is something we know Deidara can fall for:

What in the world you talking about? The Mizukage commands the Clam what or what not to reveal and makes as many mirages as needed. Since it can use Water Particle membrane reflecting light and block out light(which is why Gaara used the same counter to reveal the Clam the same way he did against Muu's
