"being that" in the form suggested

being that you are so clever, why don't you...

is rare in my British experience, but maybe some places use it more?

being as you are so clever, why don't you...

is less rare. I think I'd usually hear some different form though.

I don't hear any of those four forms much. They strike me as belonging to an older generation, but I may be wrong about that.

'Seeing as' I believe to be the only correct version.

'Being as' however, I have also heard on the TV, especially in American shows. I always thought it was a mishearing of 'seeing' but now I wonder if it is an equally correct version.

'Seeing that' / 'Being that', I have never heard either of these used and would correct them if I heard them. Although use comes before rule, so

"being as" sounds awful to me, like a vulgar error for "seeing as". However, it seems that opinions vary about this. Maybe there are regional differences too.

"seeing as" is in common and accepted use in the UK. I would avoid it in formal contexts though.
