Although it is true the definitions for high speed trains mention 200km/h, it is good to know many lines exist with 300km/h or above as speed limit (and the speed limit is regularly driven on these lines).
High speed rail is enough for medium size trips that I would normally drive. When driving isn’t feasible (more than 800 miles or so), I’d need faster than typical high speed rail.
commercial planes are a bit subsonic, you’re asking for 300-400 km/h trains. high speed rail is like 200 km/h
