Explain to me how your level 5, 2 million sp battleship skill affects your ability to fly an interdictor. Explain how your 8 million sp in drones affects your ability to fly an Amarr frigate. Explain how your Gallente spaceship skills affect your ability to fly a Raven.

I got to a total of about 25 million skillpoints, if you have all relevant skills at level 5 (many of which are plain unnecessary) which can possibly affect your ability to fly a Zealot. What is the difference between a 50mil sp and a 500 mil sp character if only 25m sp matter when theyre flying a specific ship?

This is what many people simply don't understand. More SP doesn't mean better, it just means more options. A concrete example would be that a 25 mil sp character in EVE equals one level 80 character in WoW, and a 100 mil sp character in EVE equals 4 level 80 characters in WoW. You can only use 1 at a time, so when a new player reaches a certain amount of SP (around 20-30mil usually) they can easily keep up with 5 year vets in terms of effectiveness, they just have less options available.
