Fearless is actually not a small thing. Such CC units will usually take casualties if you are running them across the board as a blob. (Or even in a Rhino if it is destroyed). Fearless means they just keep on going to the last man. All it takes is one failed leadership, for normal CSM and they run backwards instead of forwards!

Once you start taking stuff like Icons of vengence, then even the normal CSM unit gets just as expensive. The plus 1 strength from furious charge and WS 5 is also not a small thing. That translates to more hits and more wounds.

Berserkers are not the best, I think they are balanced in the sense that they are not any worse than fully kitted out regular khorne marked CSM. Points wise it should be pretty close.

True, but if I really wanted to do Khorne and berseker theme, I think I would run them across in a blob rather than have 10 berserkers in a Rhino.
