There is complete freedom of movement currently for all member states of the EU. Of which we remain one for the time being.
Has that seen large scale population movements from the (relatively) poorer south to the wealthier north? I think we all know the answer is no.

Or maybe it's yes?

You could equally argue that, until very recently, merely suggesting that immigration needs some sort of regulation gets you labelled as racist.
Just because the UK isn't swamped with millions of eastern Europeans claiming benefits, as you put it, that isn't an argument for complete freedom of movement. If we're going to discuss this in black and white terms then we're not going to get anywhere.
