Luck is a skill as well. It also makes sense there could be toxic substances among the waste because that would be more profitable for the mafia to get rid of illegally. Charge a good price for handling hazardous waste, then just dump it somewhere out of sight. Very classic. It doesn't matter whether a parasyte is immune to that particular poison or not, because the human organs wouldn't be. If you find poisons worthless, then you are a lousy poisoner. Poisons are biochemistry; any living thing can be poisoned. Why, even some non-living things can be poisoned as well: Pour something nasty in the fuel tank of a car and the engine will be poisoned!

The parasytes certainly were very fast individually, but Gotou had an extra layer between the head and the limbs. He basically had to command the aggregate parasytes to move as he wished. Once they already move, sure, they are fast, but the initial reaction time would suffer from lag. He somewhat compensated by growing extra eyes to see in every direction to avoid being surprised, not to mention he was a good fighter.
