Tha'ts actually not a very good counter-arguement.

Piccolo and Gohan were in the millions and could not even see the Death Beam coming. When Vegeta got his zenkai, he could not only track the beam's path but could dodge it as well--simply BECAUSE he was stronger. He also mentioned to Cui/Kiwi that his speed went along with his power. Freeza further emphasized this by outrunning Piccolo when he thought he had a speed advantage. Even in the Boo saga Toriyama does not forget this principle when he demonstrates Boo is much faster than Gohan--who, like Piccolo, imagined he could escape with his supposed speed advantage.

My point is, their eyes, reflexes, and bodies will get used to the new speed they have achieved. Undoubtedly, they were moving beyond the speed of sound during the Budokai days (Catching bullets, jumping thousands of feet into the air which would require being thousands of mph) so just imagine how much faster they are now. Moving at or higher than the speed of light does not change this power/speed correlation in Dragonball and you can't really argue against it.
