No. It was also anti-democratic at that time, but because the distribution of the vote was an order of magnitude less divergent, and the only people who could vote were landowning white men, it was able to succeed politically as a compromise.
Since then, its anti-democratic effects have magnified as the population divergence between states has magnified.
Doesn't this goes against your argument then?
At a time where most of the voting population was at its peak uniformity, the 2-senator-per-state model was invented to ensure that the bigger states could not bully their way in federal legislation.
It was invented at the time where it was the least needed, since as you said, voting population was very uniform, so they mostly want the same things.
