Police are allowed to lie in pursuit of their work. Miranda compels them to tell the truth, if only once, when arresting a suspect. That Miranda is celebrated is an indication of the sorry state of policing... but don't shoot the messenger.
Also? Look at Canada. Here, cops are also allowed to lie, we don't have Miranda rights, we don't have the strength of the 5th amendment, and while you're allowed to ask for an attorney, the police are in no rush to get you one and they'll continue questioning you without an attorney present. They're not supposed to question you without that attorney, but who's going to stop them?
