Nobody must use clipless pedals. But to me it let me use a lower gear with higher cadence without the risk of slipping, thus acceleration is faster. Of course a pedal can’t change my power output.

Of course, and every statement comes with some assumptions.

if budget is unlimited I want a bike with aero AND ultra light weight.

Aerodynamics is more important than weight. Think about the weight of you together with the bike, 1kg is a minuscule difference. But to reduce 1kg of weight on the bike, it’s going to cost a lot.
