Flint & Steel takes a shocking amount of skill to use. Many times you'll get pushed into it or simply miss, and more often than not you end up wasting precious PvP time using it. It's not really OP unless your fighting someone really good with it (or with a lot of it...). It's a great tool for team killing, and if you are good enough with it can change the game. It adds an interesting risk vs. reward element when using it, and is an interesting gameplay mechanic. It gives someone without a great sword or amazing PvP skills a chance.
Your logic is basically that only someone with full iron and a diamond sword can win, which is silly, to stay on the top you need an array of skills, from PvP to defense, which includes F&S dodging. If a player turns around in front of you and pulls out an F&S, back step and strafe around the fire, they should only be able to light 4 - 5. Honestly mid-fight flint and steeling usual doesn't work if the prey is paying attention, dodging the fire allows for some very easy hits before the attacker runs.
All in all, no they shouldn't be removed, although making them slightly less common is okay. They add an interesting new element to the game, which is a challenge to both use and avoid.
