By that logic if the US has a law against “hate crimes” that means the states can have one since the US preempts them.

It's not just "logic" it's Article VI Clause II:

This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
