If you just compare the platforming sections to most platformers in the market, yeah, LBP would be a below average platformer, but LBP is more of a compromise between all the parts that composes it than just focusing in a single aspect.
I think that if MM would have focused more on the platforming sections, the level creation and character customization would have suffered greatly, and that would have been worse for LBP, since it would have lost more of it's identity.
