But the law is meant to punish what's wrong. If the law fails to punish it, then that must either mean it isn't wrong, or the law has failed.

Legality and morality aren't the same thing. The law for the most part tries to uphold what it believes to be morally correct, but you are right that it sometimes/often fails. It was legal to own slaves in the past, but we see now that that was obviously morally wrong. Saying something is creepy is more of a subjective statement though which isn't necessarily related to legal or moral values anyway.
