the very value of LMS...

... is the mirror it holds to that ugly child "pageant" scene.
Despite being a comedy, I think the film has a strong underlying morality.
It is necessary to engage with unpleasant aspects of society in order to comment on them.
Otherwise an anti-war film could not show the horrors of war.
Laughter can be a powerful weapon.
The majority of the audience at the pageant react exactly as you have; with horror at the girl's routine, whilst their daughters look exactly as sexualised as Jon Benet.
For me the strength of it is in the fact that you watch this AND find it funny and then you THINK.
Another powerful weapon.
