This is one of the worst case scenario, but there's any variation where it works better than the traditional method.
At first contact you could have been packed in the "meh" group, but by virtue of coming out of the recruiting process your peers won't stop at that first reaction and take time to make it work.
Even if you were to be dismissed at the first face to face with a manager, it seems to me it's still better than if it was by some random HR intern that would have had no impact on your day to day work.
Dismissing blind test/interviews because there can still be later discrimination would be throwing the baby with the bath water IMO.
