Technically they have created the hierarchy you described. Team CFVY was clearly meant to be current that the top.Your own point proves kinda of proves this when you complained about Coco's minigun destroying a enemy that previously took all of team RWBY to take out.

Team RWBY comes in second.Due their abilities not being as good as CFVY abilities but are still above average. Team JNPR is sadly at the bottom due to the lack of training/experience of its leader and the lack of endurance of there melee fighter (Ren)

My point being that the three team are clearly not equal.
