Haki allows you to deal damage to anyone, but you still need to be able to do enough damage.

Lets use gaming terms:

Say Akainu has 1,000,000 HP, his Logia makes him immune to normal attacks.

Haki allows a character to ignore Devil Fruit ability, making Akainu's Logia defense useless.

Vista has Haki and he can deal 100,000 damage, it will not be able to take Akainu down since Akainu has 1 million HP.

Whitebeard can deal 500,000 damage, so he can take Akainu down in 2 attacks.

In manga, people don't just die from being sliced, they have HP just like most games.
