Hartnell's Doctor Was written by men and women in the early 60's. His worldview was limited by the mindset of the people who wrote him. Material written for that character today would include today's expectations. Why would they simply accept the worldview of the original writers?
I actually thought it was brilliant to do it that way. It showed the growth the Doctor had throughout the series and provided some continuity. If he was just written with modern sensibilities, I think it would take away from the changes the Doctor has been through, as well as the effect his companions had on him.
