You're right, but neither Medusa nor the other Phantoms (except maybe Gremlin) knew this. Meaning they sucked at their job, big time.

Also, I believe while the exact plan was to find Wizards, making Phantoms wasn’t a disadvantage, but part of the plan. The thing Fueki wanted was to make as many Gates as possible to fall into despair, and find those strong enough to chain their inner phantoms so they develop the potential to become Wizards.

His plan was obviously to make as many Phantoms as possible in his Carbunkle-form, and if a Gate would show potential he would just port in as the White Wizard and "save" them.

It's not like he chose the most incompetent Phantoms so Haruto could defeat them and save the Gates all the time.
