They don't put acetaminophen in opiates to poison people, they put it in because it's an effective painkiller and the natural check for abuse makes the powerful opiate more easily available than it otherwise would be.
"Make all cars disable driver-side airbags once you go, say, 15% over the national speed limit."
I'll suggest a better analogy. People have to wear seatbelts/motorcycle helmets. Unfortunately this does kill some people but on the whole it does far more good than harm.

If acetaminophen did not poison, it would provide no "check for abuse". Seatbelts are not a deterrent to anything. Your analogy is terrible.
