Knowing what we know, let's just say that Piccolo threw the fight because killing Supreme Kai would destroy the universe or something...
 
Given all the story changes the Android saga experienced, it makes you wonder if the same happened here?

During this arc, Toriyama had the least editorial interference he ever had. This is all him winging it and just writing what he wants, which does result in things randomly getting dropped when he loses interest.

The editor post-Cell gave him pretty free rein, it was probably mostly for the sake of comedy/different ideas suddenly coming to him. Writing week to week has some pretty weird outcomes.

I guess that explains why all the buildup to Gotenks essentially led to
a drawn out gag fight.
