I think you're underestimating the power of genjutsu in general. Minato has never demonstrated any skill in dispelling genjutsu or genjutsu altogether. No matter a shinobi's 'level' if they have no skill in genjutsu how can they hope to overcome it? Jiraiya was an extremely high level shinobi yet had little skill in genjutsu. Itachi is also a far superior genjutsu user than Obito, he has tsukuyomi and has performed more higher ranking genjutsu. If someone suggested a way for Minato to counter any of Itachi's genjutsu I would call the match a close win for either of the two. Otherwise Itachi wins.
