You're wrong, Zilla.

Malphite is in fact more a counter to Vlad than the other way around. Just a Chalice, keep poking with that Q, and you'll be 3/0 and level 11 by the time Vlad is level 9. And outfarm him 2:1.

Morde is not too bad, you have to time your Q when he has little shield, but worst I have seen (I only know it from Malphite side though) was a farmfest, enemy team surrendered before either of us had left lane even once, as their mid and bot weren't really doing well.

Rumble I don't know for sure, but really, how can he be a problem? Just dodge his E (either stay behind minions or use bonus movement speed from Q), and you win lane. Oh yeah, and of course poke with max range Q, don't get too close. But that's always with Malphite. He can't go toe to toe with most top laners and come out ahead. Only reason he's strong is because he doesn't HAVE to go toe to toe. He'll just QE and walk away.

Mundo I don't know, but fact is you're 10 times better in team fights, plus Mundo can't harras you when you're in between minions, while you CAN harras him while he IS in between minions.

Only one I've ever got outlaned by, is a Warwick. He outsustained all my harras and slowly brought my health bar down, as Malphite doesn't have sustain. For the rest - Some lanes weren't outright won, but not that bad that I got outlaned.
