Once again, you are assuming that Wikipedia's naming convention should
be by some taxonomic scheme of importance.

That isn't how it works.

We make the primary name a disambiguation page if one use of a name
does not completely overwhelm the other uses of the name.  In the case
of Georgia, neither does - plenty of people will say 'Georgia' and
mean the nation, and plenty more will say 'Georgia' and mean the
state.
