Apparently most of the Founders disagree with you and considered Locke to be one of the most important political philosophers of Liberty.
It is inappropriate to believe a person's thought will all be correct for all time. For his time Locke was a voice for freedom. I prefer Hume but Locke is one of the forefathers of America.
Each Age will define the role and power of the State in a society. It may range all the way from Pharoahism to the Swiss federation and has trended towards more freedom through time.
Any mistakes in our time should be cast at the feet of us not John Locke.
