The problem boils down to this, C.A.

This is a fact.

And as a swordsman, he used to fight equally with Mihawk.

This is NOT a fact.
We do not have ANY information on how they fought.
You're basically making a blanket statement, filling in information that is not given to us yet. We do not know if they were matched in swordsmanship, or otherwise.
Shanks and Mihawks were a match, yes. However, we have no information on HOW they were matched.
If Sanji used kitchen knife and fought equally with Zoro, using both his kicks and knife, it doesn't make him an equal swordsman as Zoro.
But with multiple arsenals at his disposal, he could possibly match Zoro.
Since we have no information on exactly how Shanks fight, we can't make an assumption just
YET that he was an equal swordsman as Mihawk.
However, I think it's perfectly fine to make a temporary assumption based on given information, which Master Mold has repeatedly stated.
"Until further information is revealed, I'm going to assume xxx based on information given" is the right stance to have.
