I think the reason they made Sasuke so strong, is because that is the driving force behind Naruto's training and improvement. Sasuke is what Naruto wants to be, Cool, Powerful, steals the spotlight, Sakura <3's him... and all the enemies want to know his name. They have had atleast 2 episodes covering this...
Now, for Sasuke being the strongest. Because he's an Uchiha. It's not
that much, I mean, the Hyuuga line is better. Also, he's not just dark and revengeful like... I mean, it seems as if everyone and their Jounin has some ulterior motive to becoming the strongest. ninja. ever. Especially Sasuke. So, ya kinda gotta forgive his dark and evil side, because (compared to Sasuke) Gaara is a pussy. And I'm not talking powers, strength, or even hatred.
But, I'm about to start rambling, so I should sum this up....
It's called Naruto, because the show was meant to have a humerous side, a mystical side, an inspiring side, as well as a completely, totally, ohmygod that was so hard core side. Which is why this show is so freaking awesome. Now, if you had to pick a character, out of all of the characters, that represented humor, mystical ninjaness, inspiration, and sweet zombi jesus, who would you pick?
Definately not .... Uchiha Sasuke
PS-
I don't think Sasuke is really that dark or evil, he just would wants to be stronger and needs to be in order to beat his brother.
Uhm... yeah he is... he's filled with hate. He's not evil Per Se, but neither was Haku...
