There are several flaws in your arguments. You are saying that he can destroy squishies. Yes, he is MEANT to be able to do that because he is an assassin, much like other assassins. I don't see other assassins having this bonus AD but also have the ability to destroy squishies - look at talon, le blanc, akali, rengar etc... you get my point. Assassins would be completely useless if they cannot destroy squishies, because lets be honest, most mages can already destroy squishies, but tend to save their ult for teamfights. Furthermore, even with all that AD and armor pen if the game is fairly even, zed cannot kill a tank like mundo, shen, cho gath, or such 1v1, and if it was not 1v1 zed would have serious issues because he can easily get cc'd during his ult massively reducing his damage. Even in a 1v1 scenario, if he gets cc'd much of his ult damage is eliminated. Not sure what you mean by "and a 100% is more viable against squishy targets", I'm assuming you are saying 40% armor pen is more viable against squishies? If so this statement is incorrect. I'll show you why with basic mathematics.

Squishy target: 80 armor

Tanky target: 220 armor

40% armor pen

Squishy target remaining armor: 48 (32 reduction)

Tanky target remaining armor: 132 (88 reduction)

Tanks lose a lot more armor than squishy targets.
