Said 'cloud' sucked the life-force out of planets destroying them (we see this in the film) and was significantly larger than the Earth itself.
The fact the Silver Surfer survives destroying Galactus (at least in the context of the film he does) gives - cloud or not - he's blasting away something on the scale of a planet puts him beyond Zod and his crew by multitudes.
As for Absorbing Superman... people always bring this up and I always wonder... in a fight what is the most plausible and logical thing for an opponent to do?
Superman happily bullrushes his opponents (not even that well given he has to grab them from a relatively close distance to do anything to them and he still hurts himself in the process) all the Surfer needs to do is react like he does to the missile - bam no more Superman.
It's not like Kryponians show that kind of power at all in their film. One of the most overhyped feats in the film consists of Clark over-powering a gravity distortion and blowing up something the size of a building flying through it, the explosion of which knocks him out.
Hit a board or the silver guy's head or torso? Why would Superman fly into the board instead of punching SS in the face or body? Why MUST he go for the board? And considering how fast MOS was fighting Zod in the end in Metropolis how would SS (who has negligible speed at best) trap MOS in his board,
And the Surfer also sports intangibility, honestly better reaction / flight speed showings (Zod's reaction time in MOS was awful), higher end destructive power showings (he was creating giant holes in the ground) and so on.
unless MOS was stupid and literally went into the board like the missile instead of... I don't know, change direction and move super fast around SS and punch 'im in the face, no? Always wondered that mate...
good day
Considering how brain-dead and naive the entire cast of characters in the film are, I wouldn't put it past them. They happily bullrush, grapple or sit there like dopes to get hit by things repeatedly throughout the film. The Phantom-hole is what kills them all.
