Goku was just playing with Berserk Kale and wasn't even close serious. Did it seem for you that Goku vs. BKale was the same as Goku against Jiren in episode 109? Nope.
In anime, SSB Goku > BKale, no doubt.
So LSSJ Kale, at her weakest level, casually ragdolled the living shit out of Golden Freeza... Then SSB Goku entered the fray and seemed to contend with her w/o much of an issue(before she powered up more, of course.) This seems to imply that in the manga, SSB Goku > Golden Freeza.
Additionally, I was somewhat surprised that 4th form Freeza felt the need to use his Golden transformation against SSJ Caulifla in the first place. Even his 4th form should have been FAR beyond her, given that he was already approaching God-tier power in that state... But I digress. /shrug

The RoF film, and Goku's stated base-level power in that moment(which was not directly contradicted in the anime's rendition either.)
Movie canon =/= Anime canon =/= Manga canon
Frieza's revival arc wasn't covered in the DBS manga. This is the very first time we've seen him fight.

The events of RoF were still mentioned in the primary DBS manga(a few times), so we know it was still intended to have happened in manga continuity as per the film... There's also the 3 part RoF manga that was released concurrently with the film. Even though it was still written by Toyotaro, overseen by Toriyama, and published under the SAME brand as all other DBS manga, I know you still believe it doesn't 'count'... So I won't get into that again, because it is ultimately a huge waste of time.
Either way, RoF still happened in the manga.
Sure, but the way Dragon Ball mechanics work, is you're either depowered via distraction, or able to overpower an opponent. If you're more powerful and powered up, then even if your back is turned, you won't be hurt much. Say, by Vegeta attacking Freeza's back with a big attack.
Goku was amped and ready to take Kale, so I'm assuming his defenses were at max strength.
