They don't even have an actual Captain, Sisko's only a Commander.
Whoa. Whoa. Don't you know that kind of thinking is lazy and in flagrant disregard of Gene's Vision?

You vagabond! Scallywag! Gene was holy and pure. He wanted to deliver us a world full of hope, promise, free healthcare, clean invisible toilet facilities, a well armed fleet of nonmilitary pacifist heavy cruisers, liberated women in microskirts with color coordinated BRIEFS and go-go boots. And thanks to him that is the world we live in today.I'm pretty sure trolling for tail like a sailor was a part of Gene's Vision™.
There are continuity errors and then there is just plain ignoring canon. One is a type of mistake, the other is ignorance. Discovery does not dig into TOS to expand its story telling. We don't explore things that we know transpired before the series (And there are a lot of references). The first season just kind of ignored all canon, especially concerning the Klingons. TNG and DS9, and even Enterprise, had a lot of Klingon stuff in it and Discovery comes around and throws it all out the window and make their own stuff. they have course corrected for season 2, but the damage was done. Picard on the other hand has dig deep into TNG, DS9, Voyager, and even Star Trek 2009 (the future events) to craft this tale. Canon has not been ignored at all, though I won't claim they have gotten it perfect. Canon is ever changing as new media comes out, but ones that clearly ignore what came before and don't fit with what comes after tend to get dumped and rendered non-canon. As in Star Trek the Animated Series.
The proper way to build onto canon is to pay attention to what was there before and to seamlessly merge the new stuff in. Discovery instead has decided to throw out the old stuff and rewrite it. Seeing Picard has made it clear to me what the mistakes of Discovery were. Picard has deeply mined TNG to craft this tale. There are so many links and tie-ins and easter eggs that fit with existing canon. Discovery had a bunch of neat stuff, but they threw out the canon Klingons, they threw out the TOS descriptions of Starfleet (an elite core of 12 ships with other support ships that are not called starships and do not sport the arrowhead insignia), threw out many statement from TOS that are so easy to lookup. Picard may not be telling a story to everyone's liking, but it has tapped into canon and is not changing it but adding to it. Discovery ignored most canon and just threw in a few bones and is making things up as they go along. Season two did more when they brought in Pike, Spock, and Number 1, but it is hard to get past where they started. Throwing out all the Klingon lore was a huge mistake. Glad they brought it back, but that is a course correction in response to fan outrage. That sort of proves they know they f***ed up.
Which were the canon Klingons? The honorable ones? The moustache twirling ones? The smooth forehead ones? The Ruffles-forehead ones?
The Klingons were exactly where they expanded upon lore, and not just let them continue on as cookie cutter stereotypes that often were presented, outside of the occasional main character.
"Keep whatever bigotry in your quarters." That's not a lack of bigotry. That's acknowledging it exists and allowing people to have their personal opinions while treating others with respect.
All the references to investment and credits. Kirk's confusion in ST IV is more an outlier than an indication, especially since McCoy states in the movie prior "Price you name. Money I got."
Hardly. Kirk regularly interfered in societies. Kirk gets a comment from Gill about how important the PD was, and then Kirk goes and violates it later on in things like "A Private Little War" and "The Apple."
