And they are supposed to be at least experienced chunins. Also it's pretty lame that the kids want their team to be "team 7" but whatever.

To be fair on Naruto's part, he's pretty much the second coming of the First Hokage. Any amount of Bijuu chakra against ninja of that level and of course he's going to basically smother them.

On the whole "Let's be Team 7" thing, yeah, that was dumb. It's yet another "History will forever repeat itself every generation" thing that Kishimoto started and his successors are continuing.
