Couple of things.

(1)If you make a hole, the bad guys can use the hole.  The best you 
can do is slow them down or convince them the risks are too great.

(2) If Dumbledore has this unmatched power to get from point A to 
point B at Hogwarts, why does he need all the complicated protections 
that a trio of first year students can breeze through?  Why not just 
place the stone some place where only he can get to using this 
unduplicated power?  If you say, he can't do it because a bad guy 
might find out how to do it, then we are back to the original 
question, "How did he get there so fast?"
