You forget the crucial fact that we actually witnessed firsthand how powerful Mokton and Perfect Susanoo are. We saw Mokton and PS feats several times, so we know a good deal about how they work.

The Yata Mirror, on the other hand, has been seen only once, when it was used to block Sasuke's Kirin. That's it. We don't see anything else from it, ever. Which means that there is no evidence whatsoever that the Yata Mirror can protect Itachi's Susanoo from all directions simultaneously. As far as we know, the Yata Mirror is like a normal shield when it comes to spatial orientation i.e. it can shield attacks from only one direction.

Keeping these things in mind, it is reasonable to suppose that the Yata Mirror also has some weaknesses, as LSSJ4 pointed out. Just because Black Zetsu said that the Yata Mirror combined with the Totsuka Blade makes Itachi nearly invincible, doesn't mean that Itachi actually is invincible, or that those ethereal weapons have no weaknesses. There have been exaggerations in the past, such as Hiruzen being hailed as the "strongest Hokage EVER", so it is quite natural to suppose that BZ's claims are exaggerations, since there are no feats to support the claims of invincibility.
