that's sort of the point of Anakin's story, you don't have to agree with him. Just understand him. Anakin sees things in black and white. Anakin sees that he is powerful, that he can do so much for the galaxy, only the Jedi won't let him because they're holding him back. He sees that as shortsighted because its a waste of valuable resources- his resources. He feels that someone so powerful should be put to effective use, make full use of his abilities. Its very nietche. It does make sense, why waste Van Gogh's abilities by making him a house painter? That's how he see's it. Its not wrong, just immature.
I don't even think its immature, I think its (in a twisted way) almost mature that he decides to go with Palpatine, because he (in Anakin's eyes) is the only one that seems to know the score, and could put Anakin's abilities to the limits. So I think in an evil sorta way, its very mature for Skywalker to abandon the Jedi Order, and make a decision on his own that he knows will be instrumental to the ruling of the entire galaxy.
Granted he turns evil and kills billions of people but eh, every war has its casualties lol
Well the dark side isn't winning until he turns. If you had Obi-Wan, Yoda, Mace and Anakin fighting Palpatine at once he wouldn't last a minute.
Anakin didn't choose the more powerful side, he chose the one he thought was right for his potential, and since the Jedi Order kept holding him back, he had to get guidance from the only other person, Sidious.

I personally think Obi-Wan is on the Council right now in the story, cause I've seen a picture where he's sitting in a chair next to the hologram Ki-Adi...as for Anakin, I doubt he's on it, but he might be in the process of consideration, which I think makes more sense, and like stated before, the fact that Kenobi is on the Council and not Anakin could help support Anakin's mood later in the story, by thinking he was looked over once again.
Ohhh, well thats cool, makes sense, since they are the best in the war anyway.
