Your driver's license is your established permit to use public property and wasn't originally intended nor does it hold a sanctified place now as your primary identity.
Your existence is established by your warm body; your right to exist is inherent in the unstated social contract absent demand by authority.
To get a birth certificate one must be named; but one need not carry that name if one chooses not to.
If you change your name you need only register your new name with the agency that records such things and then your I.D. card is changed; if we begin to impute sinister motive from simple transactions such as this in the name of national security then a single step forward will have us need permanent names.
The permutations of such a scheme is nearly endless.

Unfortunately, most of your fellow Americans can neither see the principle, nor do they have any desire to "avoid the consequence by denying the principle".
They are too busy celebrating "freedom" by choosing between reruns of Seinfeld and Friends.

Security checks at the airport want to try to make it just a little bit harder for terrorists to use "buy and switch" tactics for individuals boarding aircraft. While it is not perfect, it is better than nothing.
If you object to your drivers license being used for such purposes, any valid photo ID such as a passport or a military ID will do just fine.
