That's true but Grover search shows that quantum computers can give big speedups so I don't know why I would believe BPP=BQP.

Grover's algorithm still takes exponentially many operations to solve a search problem that can be brute-forced in exponentially many steps. Much faster, but still in EXPTIME. No jump from exponential to polynomial complexity class.
