I think that conclusion rather premature, given that the only fights CRDL have been in is Cardin V Jaune, and the Ursa Major incident. One of those implies Cardin is stronger, the other implies it's Jaune. The obvious conclusion to draw is that one of them is a fluke, and the transcripts imply that that would be the Ursa major fight.

Given that absolutely nobody except for Jaune has fought with CRDL onscreen, therefore, I cannot understand how you conclude that any or all of the main characters could wipe them out in an instant.

Based off the opening, which isn't exactly reliable canon anyway, Pyrha didn't seem to completely wipe them out. She just knocked a few of them back when they attacked, and then the scene cut away. They could stand up and attack again just as easily as stay down for all we know. And even if they were beaten that easily, Pyrha has been explicitly billed as the strongest girl in class by Weiss, and her athlete status would imply that to be accurate. Her winning against a team of four would just be confirmation, and wouldn't reflect on anyone else. So all things considered I don't see how that fight can be taken to imply anything we don't already know.
