Luffy has not improved at all since the archipelago incident. He still doesn't know how to consciously use haki. And the Haki he exerted against the Amazon sisters wasn't the first time he used it; he first used it against Duval's bull (without even knowing it). Furthermore, Luffy being able to hit Marigold and Sandersonia had nothing to do with knowing how to counter haki. He was using Gear 2 against them, and even though they were able to read his every movement, their bodies weren't quick enough to keep up with him, and so they got hit as a result of his speed.

Luffy was trying to run away from him until he couldn't run any further. Up until that point, that doesn't mean the fight was a challenge for Magellan because he couldn't hit/catch him. Once Luffy finally hit him with his Gear 2 Jet Bazooka, that hit only brought him down to his knees for a brief moment, upon which he quickly recovered from it with no sustaining damage done to him. Luffy's loss against Magellan was completely fair.

Shanks was mostly talking about Ace's losing, and Blackbeard is dutchebag... I mean evil and it's part of his evil plot that WB dies or loses.

Whitebeard's only purpose is to die. His time has passed and his role is now to pass the torch on to the newer generation of pirates. Oda has set him up as a character that is meant to fall in order for the story to undergo a big change. What would be the point of having him linger around like a bad odor once he's been defeated? He won't have that same omnipotent presence anymore once he's lost, he will eventually be dethroned by Blackbeard, and it wouldn't do the World Government any good to keep him alive.
