Without spoiling anything, this Airgetlam isn't a replica of that Airgetlam, just a fake name for a real Noble Phantasm that changed form due to some hero-making magic.

We don't know how powerful is Nuada's Airgetlam and, even if it's as strong or stronger than Bedivere's, it doesn't mean Fionn defeated Nuada by overpowering him. Who said he blocked a blow from Claiomh Solais held with Airgetlam anyway? Dodging and finding an opening is also a valid way to win, especially when your gimmick is to access all the world's wisdom with a lick of a thumb.
