It wasn't overlooked it actually failed the test. The engines weren't able to perform. Secondly everyone in IAF and MOD thought the whole fleet shouldn't be based on Russian fighters as strategically it might effect the operational capability of IAF and thats why even if Mig35 would have passed the test there's no way it was going to win. The thing is Russians always had some idea about this.And who said that Russia's days are over when the MiG-35 was ovelooked for the MMRCA.
But you are right about Super Sukhoi and FGFA. Not to mention Su35 is still on of the best aircrafts in the world.
