Its the you get to pick a superpower one. With a twist.

Large mass changes literally break physics - if you can switch from a diving bird to an elephant and back, you wouldn't just be throwing cars, you'd be able to send trucks flying
Limiting your maximim mass to human scale, you could still drop kick someone hard enough to splat them, which is pretty strong. Turn into a cat instead, and you could open them up like cheese as you pass
You also have an insane amount of utility - an eagles eyes can see for miles, a dog (or many animals really) can smell so well it's like a new sense, cats operate with a reaction time beyond human scale... This is a really strong and versatile ability
If the scaling has powers at a scale properly prepared and equipped humans could operate at, I think this is the limit. There's no answer to a rhino flying at you at 100mph... That basically can't be dodged or stopped
Would it be any better if the transformation did not allow for any special ability outside of the froms. So changing from a small to large form under a car would hurt and squash you. Like there would be no shape change immunity and being a rhino flying at 100mph would likely injure you greatly. I mean when you land I think the increased mass would almost instantly put you at a standstill much less the air resistance.

Rhinos could turn a human to slime at that speed, they're heavily armored and would probably not be harmed for the experience. If you could turn back into a bird instantly, you'd never even hit the ground... Something a rhino would probably survive if done correctly. Wind resistance wouldn't do anything either
If you want instant transformations, I think there's got to be severe tradeoffs. Even if you need room to avoid being squashed, that's insanely powerful

I really doubt the rhino could handle these changes as easily as you think they could but alright. Im not sure they could handle a few foot drop with their weight and bone structure. Most heavy animals can barely handle their own mass.

A rhino is covered in thick keratin plates. They could slide across asphault, their knees couldn't handle the drop but human motorcycle riders can't either
I'm not saying it's easy, but it is OP
