GPA is just a number, and a snapshot taken at a certain (early) time in your life and development at that. The PhD's most likely have at least 10 more years of experience than you, and their achievement - the research you read - is again only a snapshot of their life and level at that point in time.

The impostor syndrome (which you seem to exhibit signals of) is mainly caused by only seeing the higher steps, and forgetting the steps you've already taken.
