Emulation in some (most) cases is better than the game on the system it was produced for. There are problems here and there with some games but as the emulator is developed, more and more games work perfectly.

The aim of emulators is to achieve the exact same outcome as the actual product. I don't see how you can have an emulator that works "better" than a system, as a "perfect" emulator would produce the same results. Additions that seek to improve on an already existing system is not classed as "emulation".
Read my above post. I have already provided points why emulators cannot be considered "perfect". Run an emulated game side by side with it's console counterpart and you'll notice an eventual skew in timing.

It's better because of the potential for a better performance+better graphics. Why does that not count?

As I mentioned before, better graphics than the original does not make for better emulation because it deviates from the intended task of an emulator, which is to mirror the workings of the original. What you describe opens the path to potential "false positives", because "improvements" involve making a lot of assumptions, for instance, when moving to a higher resolution.
