It's typical for me to agree with you but people will give about 100 other reason why I'm wrong. I'll give you several reasons why she is bad.

1. Bugs!!!

2.No CC

3. Short Attack Range in both forms (shortest melee attack range)

4.Poor AP scaling.

5.No mixed scaling abilities on a seemingly mixed damage dealing champion (no AP/AD ratios on a few abilities.

6. Her most damaging ability is slow, easily avoided, and if it does hit at max range she has no way to follow up on it.

7.Pathing and just controlling her in general.

Now why does Nidalee seem to be a strong top laner?

I'll again list of to you why she is good there.

1.She has a ranged attack and top lane is generally a melee lane.

2.Her passive allows her to be super mobile if she starts boots top lane.

3.She has a heal.

4.She has some scary melee burst at lvl 6

___________________________________________________ Now why is this not really that amazing?

You already have mobile ranged champions that can go top and do the same exact thing but they scale better, do more damage, and bring more to the team(utility and CC wise)

Kennen, Vladimir, Kayle, and practically any ranged carry you can think of (especially vayne).

Stick one of these guys top and they will not only wreck your current melee top lane pick but they also wreck Nidalee is not at the least make it a farm lane. If one of these gets fed it typically means GG but not if Nidalee gets fed.

Of course most people are still stuck in the meta of AP mid, melee top, AD and support bot, and some wildcard jungler. If people picked based on counters and team composition the meta's would disappear at least in some regards.
