Because like you said speed is nice, but as Madara, Gaara, and many others have shown speed only gets you but so far before your ass gets handed to you. LoL. I get that you don't like Minato, but don't let that cloud your judgment. Every shinobi has their own fighting style. Gaara uses a stationary style with his sand to attack. Might Gai uses taijutsu as his specialty. Sasori uses puppets.

In case of Minato, his fighting style is speed + FTG. His tactic is to strike an opponent before they can react, targeting the moment they weave signs or prepare their jutsu. So, trying to say FTG is Minato's saving grace is the same thing as saying, Itachi would be weak without the Sharingan.

Different styles, different tactics. Try to remember that before you rant.

OTher users however wank him off claiming he is untouchable though. Speed is extremely powerful but isn't the end all be all. Lol, see above. Yeah speed isn't everything, Minato has more going on than that.
