You actually have a point. If they wanted to they could just have delegates choose a nominee. It's their party and it doesn't say anything in the Constitution about how parties should select a delegate (no mention of parties at all in fact). They have elections because to not would be 'undemocratic,' but it's clear that the role of the superdelegates is to select the 'party favorite.' Similar to how the Republicans have unbound delegates that Cruz was taking advantage of until his campaign blew up.
Edit: all of this is moot since, as I said, Hillary got 3.2 million more votes than Bernie.
