That's singleplayer balance, we are on Disco now. An open-world where most play takes place at high-level. I would not have a problem with removing the MK II ships and boosting the MK Is, but still, there should be some exterior design change. Discovery takes place more than 15 years after the original Freelancer's storyline. So we can expect the original designs to be overworked or remade. I think we misunderstand each other: To me, the boosted ships are NEW ships, hence the new names and background infocards. The fact that they look exactly like their weaker and older predecessor simply does not make sense.
