Or, small children annoy people with bikes, because some people try to take small children where not appropriate, and this is dangerous when small children change direction unpredictably.

Parks should not be inappropriate places for children.
So if child A starts hitting other children is it still appropriate for child A to be there?
You're creating a hard and fast rule that X group should always be allowed, the parent was saying all groups should behave reasonably towards each other.
I think the parents view is more reasonable. You could still take the view that bikes will always be dangerous to children, at that point you can then decide whether to prioritise children or bikes.
There are all kinds of parks. I would argue you should probably not be letting a 5 year old loose on a biking path which would seem to me to mean it is an inappropriate place for (some) children.
What kind of park has a biking path, I wonder to myself. I personally have never seen it; generally, paths are either mixed use or pedestrian only. Mixed use is fine, for people who go at an appropriate pace when in proximity to pedestrians, but some people treat mixed paths as an entitlement. It's more common for paths that are on commutes.
