During the acceleration phase the coefficient of friction is not relevant.

What matters is the fact that the wheels must push the water out of the way in order to move forward. This requires energy. The fact that some of the available energy is being used to push water aside, means that there is less energy available to accelerate the aircraft. So the distance required to accelerate to a given speed is greater.
