You're correct as far as LOW lvl Grineer go, but ANY weapon is decent against thosel; those aren't the problem.

The problem is that the higher the lvl, the more Viral damage is mitigated by armor - Corrosive IS NOT mitigated by armor for standardLancers/HeavyGunners/etc. Elite Grineer, those using Alloy armor, DO mitigate Corrosive just as much as they mitigate Viral - hence the Dark Sword's biggest advantage - the fact that Radiation is NOT mitigated by Alloy armor using Grineer, no matter the lvl.

Basically, you're factually wrong, since low lvl Grineer aren't a threat.

Radiation+Corrosive is literally the best combo for the entire Grineer faction at higher levels. Given a full potato and forma build, Heat could also be fitted as a nice +90% bonus dmg that affects all Grineer cloned flesh (but again, sadly mitigated a lot by armor).
