Having CoC is not a problem to be a swordsman. Shanks CoC is indeed more hyped than Mihawk : moment in the Moby dick, having a straw hats, and not having any DF, black blade or a freak body.
and CoC is the most hyped power and most hyped Haki power. So even if Mihawk have better CoA I think having a better CoC is better.
About Zoro dream yes this is the real difficulty and I can agree with you on some terms : but I have two answers maybe I’m wrong maybe I’m right it is my interpretations. But feat wise and portrayal wise Mihawk doesn’t have any edge.
About Zoro : I think Shanks is no more in the race of the WSS. Since Shanks bet an arm on the new gen he retired himself from the WSS race. Mihawk doesn’t want to fight him anymore there is a reason, because he is weak ? Hell no. We also can agree Shanks is strong. And if Mihawk doesn’t want to fight Shanks it means Shanks is not part of Zoro WSS dream and his dream to beat Mihawk. Zoro can totally fight a one armed guy to protect his captain or to fight an enemy this is not the problem. But given Shanks put himself aside and a sword duel is not the same. So Shanks existing is not a problem.
Secondly I think at the time Zoro will fight Mihawk, Shanks will be dead. BB or Imu or CP0 will kill Shanks and he will be no more in the board.

Zoro doesn't want a fake dream or title
He wants to be the actual strongest swordsman in the world.
