Itachi is not OP, he is a very cool character with interesting abilities but not unbeatable. I think the statement of Itachi thinking like a kage has been exaggerated quite a bit. Firstly, that statement was made by Obito if I'm not mistaken. Secondly, what does that statement mean? If you look at the context of what was said, you'd see that it meant that Itachi understood from a young age, that war was terrible and that being part of a shinobi village was greater than being confined and separated by clans and their agenda's.

If that statement is taken out of context, it could be seen as Itachi having kage wisdom, but looking at everything, curse of hatred etc, you have to take context. Of course Itachi is smart, but smarter than kage, I think not.

P.S. Using hax abilities don't automatically make you smart, they just make you strong.
