One look at a good >enlargement from a Hasselblad will definitely convince you otherwise. I think the true advantage of MF and LF is finer tonality, not improved sharpness. And I think you are also confusing sharpness and resolution. There is a difference! TMZ is very sharp, but it has low resolution. APX 25 has a high resolution, but it may appear less sharp than TMZ. The same principle holds true for lenses.
