I do not think that the GTS is flawed by its current system of requests.  I received the following pokemon in exchange for fairly common "lesser" pokemon:
Palkia level 100
Palkia level 50
Mew level 70
Groudon level 45
I have also traded a level 30 Swellow for a level 100 Blissey.
By not coding restrictions into the GTS submission / request setup Nintendo allowed users to trade any pokemon for any other pokemon, which is a GOOD THING.  If someone in an office somewhere decided what a level 30 Swellow was worth I can guarantee that I would not have been allowed to trade it for a level 100 Blissey.  And I have no doubt that I would have never received a Mew.
The problem is not that people can post a Jigglypuff and request a Mew.  The problem is the search method is flawed.  Users should be able to search by what they have and see other users who desire that pokemon.  If that system of searching were possible I doubt that many would complain about the GTS.
The problem is not that people can post a Rattatta and request a Mew.  The problem is that people cannot search by what they have to find others willing to trade Mews and Groudons for what they have.  The problem is not that people can post any pokemon and request any pokemon.  The problem is that the search feature is flawed.
