This is the essential flaw of these sorts of arguments. Imagination does not convey reality.
I can actually imagine a better god: one who not only created the Universe, but has no need to threaten humans with Hell in order to compel belief. It follows that my god is more merciful and forgiving, and therefore more perfect.
By their own logic, my imaginary god must exist -- and being more perfect than theirs, must be pre-eminent.
