This is true, however I was thinking with the engine pcm reprogrammed to eliminate 02 sensors and set to run as stand alone without input/communication from the trans you could run any transmission. You certainly wouldn't be the first to put a 700r4 behind a newer engine. There are plenty of people using a 700r4 behind an LS1. I would think you could add a bracket to connect the TV cable to the throttle body linkage. Just with the cable kit from bowtie overdrives cable kit. I have not done this so this is just what I think. Before you go making decisions I would call a reputable programmer like street and performance or elsewhere that is familiar with late model engine swaps. it would certainly seem easier to use the proper year 4L60E though. Can you sell the 4x4 trans to buy a 2wd 4L60E? or swap the tailhousing and output shaft to convert the 4x trans to 2wd? if that is even possible, i'm not that familiar with the 4x4 4L60E.
