So you're saying he was FTL as a kid when he's still shown long travel times throughout the ENTIRE manga? You can go around the entirety of earth in 7 seconds at the speed of light. Yet Goku barely travels anything even comparable to that when chasing, running, flying, etc. It's about 4-5 inconsistencies vs 200. If these inconsistencies had happened at EoZ then sure, I'd agree they have potential to be actual feats. But when they happened in DB, then they are clearly outliers and aren't to be recognised. DBZ top tiers are all sub-relativistic, unless we are speaking Whis/Bills/SSj God Goku.
Yes he is capable of such speeds , and there is consistency in terms of supporting feats as you already know. What you're arguing is WHY he didn't use this speed. Same reason Naruto didn't one-shot Shin, or why Sasuke didn't blitz him, for the sake of plot. And this is DragaonBall, are you really asking why a character's ability wasn't used? Need i remind you of the infamous "5 episode minute", during the Frieza saga, this is something that Toriyama is notorious for. In a versus debate, such feats are allowed, so long as they are consistent, and not PIS or CIS.
