My dude, I will guarantee you that the amount of thought that was put into that 90km/h for that portion of the road far exceeds the average amount of thought you put into what every speed limit should be for everywhere you travel.
And even if you're right, what do we do now? Do all drivers know your thoughts and should stick to your proposed speed limits because you're right? Should everyone driving set their own mental speed limit and follow it? You don't get to a better outcome in either of those situations.
If you don't like the speed limit, lobby the people in charge to change it. Come up with the data necessary and present your case. But until then, some drivers will choose to follow the law, stick to the current speed limit and not risk their license being suspended (or getting into car wrecks), so you should learn to deal with that.
Trust me, I'm from a part of Europe where people think like you most of the time. "fuck the speed limit, I know better, I've been driving for X years". You know what that leads to? Highest rate of car accidents in the EU.
