The Emperor wasn't so much stupid as a victim of his over whelming arrogance & eg0. He had reached a point that he had begun to believe his own publicity, that he was infallible, unstoppable and knew all there was to know about the warp. That hubris is what allowed the Horus Heresy to happen and brought down the Emperor's great dream.
