How does the existence of cyber-newtypes not just shit all over

Because they're neither cyber nor newtypes.
The original name is Enhanced Human because an underlying theme of Zeta is the growing estrangement between newtypes and oldtypes and specifically defining the other ones as human serves to reenforce the idea that newtypes are viewed as something other than human.

Well, it works for the pro-Newtype propaganda because Cyber-Newtypes tend to be unstable and have psychological problems. So it fits with that classic "man trying to overreach his boundaries is punished for it" theme. The propagandists can point to them as evidence of how special real Newtypes are, any attempt to mimic them just causes the patient suffering, even if they do have some weak Newtype powers as a result.

As for the narrative idea of Newtype powers being something spiritual, I don't think it was ever meant to be that the powers themselves are spiritual in nature. Rather, that they open the possibility for greater spirituality. The franchise has many examples of Newtypes whose powers don't make them any better people or more in touch with the universe. But a Newtype can be, if they embrace the potential that it opens for them. It's about that theme of childhood's end, that this physical change is giving us the chance to become something better, but it's still up to us to actually do it.

So the message of Zeta is that we, the audience are inferior plebes who should bow before the might of our psychic overlords?

Pretty much.
That's what newtypes have been since the beginnings.

It's almost as if F91 isn't well written.
