"In law, intent is pretty much everything.

Fall asleep at the wheel, plow into people, get away scott-free.

Drink, fall asleep at the wheel, plow in to people, do hard time."

Actually your argument is baseless. There are lots or crimes that are crimes sans intent. The drunk who drives their car into another and kills someone did not intend to kill anyone, they did not have the mens rea for murder, but they are held accountable because they were negligent. You are hung up on intent when you can still be guilty as sin by negligence.
