OK. So, the Potara isn't really 'secondary'. This is a misconception. Many like to believe that because of this line, Old Kai proves that all it takes to achieve Vegetto-level power (or at least similarly amazing; much stronger than Gohan-Boo, that is) is having Goku and Vegeta fuse, which undermines the entire scene where he hypes up Potara as being far better than the fusion dance (and the only way to actually beat Gotenks-Boo).
As for as the statement itself. "To think that merging with the Potara would be this incredible...!!" Firstly, yes, the Potara is incredible. But keep in mind the context of the statement: "H-he's strong!!! Majin Boo there is helpless!!!" He is amazed that a Potara fusion is able to result in someone who can destroy Boo. Except that it doesn't, because the strength of the fusees is still relevant, as Old Kai points out. This doesn't suddenly make that the MAIN reason or the ONLY reason, but still a pretty big reason. Kibitoshin is called an idiot because all he has to do is look at himself, a Potara fusion in his own right, to see that, no, Potara fusions aren't always that incredible. This does not mean that Potara isn't incredible in its own right, and Kibitoshin is still orders of magnitude stronger than Kaioshin or Kibito (far more so than he would've been had those two fused via the dance). But if you give the greatest chef in the world shitty ingredients, he won't be able to make the best dish in the world with said ingredients. The result may be far better than what an inferior chef may do with the same ingredients, but that goes without saying, much like how Potara >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dance goes without saying.
Old Kai's statement doesn't undermine all that he said before; the scenes complement one another. Potara is amazing; if you feed it two of the strongest fighters ever, then the result will be truly incredible. Far better than using two shitty fighters for Potara, or two strong fighters for the inferior dance.
