It is not the "minimum" service, it is the service provided full stop. To provide a better service simply deignate the airspace class C so that the airspace class reflects the service level provided. That is why there are so many classes of airspace - you can't but find one that fits your situation.
Where does it say that
separation is the same as
traffic avoidance?
