... Have you read the originals? I ask because they're, ah, not the same. Some of the solutions might still be obvious to a modern reader, but the original Holmes was 'the world's greatest detective' for the most part because a) he could think outside society's clear strictures on who could be considered a criminal and who couldn't, b) in a world without even much of an idea of forensics he could use physical evidence at scenes to help him, c) he wasn't part of a police force that was still suffering the stigma of having failed to catch the Ripper and therefore garnering a reputation for inefficiency, and d) he could do the 'Sherlock scan' of looking at someone and telling minute details about them.

He was arrogant, yes, but the whole 'genius detective' thing is mostly in adaptations, for whom an avant-garde forensic ability and a lack of care for society's strictures don't quite mean the same thing. It all weights onto the 'Sherlock scan' part, which is essentially just a faster and more mobile forensics lab, so they need to try and ramp up his 'genius' attributes to compensate. The results can be ... hit and miss.
