The fact that Ay couldn't push his fist forward at his top speed a mere inch or two before Minato could fling his kunai passed him, and that Minato could teleport behind him and in that moment attack him as he was in motion and Ay couldn't react, shows Minato is faster than Ay with just base speed. Ay also looked straight at the kunai and knew where Minato was teleporting to. Both instances are before and after teleportation thus are motion movements. Ay was at his fastest speeds. Minato not only has deadly reaction speed, but the movement speed to go with it. That's what makes him deadly.

We don't overrate Minato. We just place him higher than Itachi. I don't see how it's illogical to do that. Itachi is great. But Minato is the worst match up for his style of combat.
