Superman's got like 10 other powers people associate with him before Super Speed. It's not silly or absurd or unfair to Superman for Flash to not only be the fastest, but to significantly outdo Superman because if Superman is just a hair's breadth slower than The Flash then he can do anything The Flash can with speed besides...win a race, which you're saying he should do anyhow.
Also, to say that everyone stole everything from Superman is silly. Superman did not invent superpowers. He was the first modern superhero, but superhero comics are just heroic mythologies we know are fiction. Heroic epics without the guise of believing they're true. A being being supremely fast or supremely strong or flying through the sky long predates Superman. There's a reason Jay's wearing a hat reminiscent of Mercury. Superman himself is largely inspired by Hercules, for instance. His most defining modern comic being a straight parallel.
