Wouldn't an attenuator solve that?

This high sensitivity is probably a bad thing, not a good thing.
It is indicative of a dynamic divider. For a frequency counter
prescaler, you want a static divider, such as the HP5386 used.
Dynamic dividers make errors if the signal being measured
has a broadband noise floor or sufficiently high spurs at any
frequency.
