Obviously the goal should be to win a championship.

Whether you like it or not, the success of a season will be heavily weighted by success in the postseason for most fans. More people watch the NCAA tourney and the media attention is substantially higher. It's a bigger deal to the media and fans to make the final four than it is to win 30 games over the course of a whole season. Luckily, most of the time making the final four means you have a really good team who has likely won over 30 games anyways. The 2001-02 team you list is an aberration. Most successful teams who make elite 8's also were good teams during the regular season.
