Because we've never seen Superman break an energy shield before. I don't know if he can or not, but the way Apoc's shield works, I wouldn't try it on a whim.

He waltzed through a gravity beam like it was nothing while extremely weakened.
I am going to regret doing this, because it was one of Quan's arguments against Superman in the past, but... We don't know the explicit damage output of the beam. We don't actually know what the beam's energy would directly do to a human being. The only thing we know about it for certain is that it was gradually increasing the Earth's gravitational pull.

Where was Apoc shown to have much damage output while having his shields up?
While he was psychically beating the crap out of Xavier, he was simultaneously disintegrating everything Magneto threw at him, Blocking Storm's lightning bolts, Scott's beams, and repulsed a physical attack from beast instantly, then, while Mags, Scott and Storm kept up their attack, he fused Beast into a wall without so much as a gesture. It was only when Jean psionically, then physically smashed him did Apoc ever have trouble.
