You miss a very significant point. Just because Einstein's theory yields the correct answers to some questions does not mean his theory is correct. For example, the gravitational red shift is no longer considered a defense of Einstein’s general relativity as any theory of gravity consistent with conservation of energy can be shown to require that very same red shift.

Just because a theory is consistent with what you know of the physical phenomena can not be taken as proof the theory is correct. There are other problems with Einstein's theories which cause thinking people to doubt. The overwhelming opinion that Einstein could not possibly be wrong does a disservice to science resulting in their failure to look for alternatives which could also yield these same results.
