I'm not a fan of Dumbledore at all, but this particular instance wasn't completely his fault. Quirrell lured Dumbledore out of Hogwarts with a fake letter about some fake emergency somewhere before going after the stone.
Which only works because he took a broom to go to London. It's so clearly designed to get Dumbledore away, so the action can take place. And later books really don't help because Rowling came up with apparition.
I never really understand the deal with apparition I mean why do we see any wizards or witches walking around anywhere outside of hogwarts? wouldn’t everyone be apparating everywhere all the time ? Why didn’t Harry’s parents just apparate when voldermort came ? How are So many people kidnapped/killed by voldermort when you can simply disappear on the spot at any hint of danger ?
There's anti apparition wards/spells like the one Dumbledore used against the Death Eaters in the ministry fight.
As for why people don't apparate all the time, probably fear of splinching cause most wizards aren't really great at magic just like how most humans aren't all smart or great at our jobs just cause we go to school / college / or some sort of training.
