I see the similarity between {}[](), maybe also with \ but definitely
not with =, so the "likeness" between those chars is only clear in your
head (at least seen from Emacs's maintainer's point of view, and while
Emacs's point of view is not always identical, there's a correlation
between the two).

You can make your intention clear by using regexp-search rather than
forward-word.  E.g. C-u C-s [][(){}\=[:word:]]+
