The value of every stat fluctuates, with more expensive items being more efficient. That's not the same as having no value. Kindlegem is only ~500-525g worth of health which means on an item of similar value to Viktor's 'upgrades' 10% CDR costs ~325g. Even if you drop the value drastically to 200g it still, like the E augment, leaves the Q augment in the dust.

Additionally you can't factor the 3AP/lvl into the value of the upgrade because he gets that before he invests any gold into the item. Best to consider +3AP/lvl as his passive and the upgradable item's cost to be completely separate.
