Who says the intelligent agent was a perfect being? It could just as easily have been a mad alien scientist (judging by human behavior mad scientist may be the best assumtption)
A perfect being is not necessary to argue for the theory of intelligent design. As for calling the agent an idot...well he, she or it was a lot smarter than humans are now since we can't even replicate creation of a living cell.
The fact is that creationism is a much better observable theory than evolution. Creation can be observed when intelligent agents (both humans and animals) arrange items into a purposefull system. Evolution of complex systems such as plants, animals or even a single living cell from random particles has never been observed.
The argument that creationism must be false because the created object isn't perfect is like arguing that my computer was not created because it keeps crashing and therefore isn't perfect.
