Why does the house of Slytherin even exist??

If Dumbledore, knows the qualities it fosters, usually lead to powerful
dark magic, why not discontinue the house's existence, all together??

You can eliminate the house, but you can't eliminate the qualities
possessed. Whether or not Tom Riddle was in Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, or
Hufflepuff, he still would have become Lord Voldemort if his ambition
and lust for power were both strong enough. At least I think so.

Besides, although Salazar Slytherin was "an old loony," to quote Ron,
he was still a Hogwarts founder (even though he did create the Chamber
of Secrets). He deserves some recognition for that, IMHO.
