The trouble this time was that the FAs that a person may have mistaken for April Fools jokes were already featured on the Main Page by the time April 1 came around. Next time these should be kept in reserve and then the best of that crop could be the April 1 TFA. 'Did you know...' could also be subverted for a day from displaying interesting facts that are in new articles to very unusual facts from some of our more off the wall - but still correct and real - articles.
What you're saying seems to boil down to: "Next year, let's keep the less interesting stuff off Wikipedia in the run up to April 1." How will that make Wikipedia a better encyclopedia?
