Shanks and Mihawk were rivals, indicating comparable growth rate. So how does Shanks suddenly surpass Mihawk upon sacrificing an entire arm.
Don't say that he "went to the new world to compete with the Yonko". Yonko don't usually fight each other. Even something as brief as a clash happens very rarely. Whitebeard said he hasn't seen Shanks for a long time, Big Mom said she hasn't met Kaido for decades. Most of Shanks' growth came from honing his swordsmanship against Mihawk.
Also, Mihawk doesn't hold onto his WSS title. In fact he searches for people that can finally surpass him, even goes as far as to train that swordsman himself. Why would he not face Shanks if Shanks was stronger?

Shanks was already a big name in the new world
Think of how strong he would have to be for people like wb and Co in the new world to be shocked he lost an arm
Wb said everyone was talking about it.
Would people give a shit if kata / king lost an arm
Kata couldn't even get named on Morgans report
