The New 52 run had Black Adam as the villain, with that other guy but a lesser evil. It would have made sense to focus on Shazam versus Black Adam.
Dwayne Johnson wanted Black Adam to face Superman. Not "some B-lister."
Therefore, Black Adam will face Superman. Not "some B-lister."
Or he would have, had the Black Adam movie been/done better.
Blame Dwayne Johnson's ego. He didn't want Black Adam to look weak or vulnerable in any way, let alone be defeated.
Despite, y'know, being the villain.
