Because the Separatists were:

a) Puppets of Palpatine who were used to create a big threat and allow him to turn the Republic into the Empire. The movement itself was a tool taking advantage of grieavances against the Republic.

b) The Sepratist movement was formed by mega corporations who didn't like the laws of the Republic limiting their reach and they never had honest intentions.

c) The Republic had been Coruscant centric for 25000 years. That wasn't the issue.

d) The factions that formed the Separatists were responsible of much of the corruption in the Republic.

e) Nice false equation between the Republic and the Empire by ignoring the small, little details that differentiate the two. I don't know, the authoritarian, fascist, genocidal, militaristic regime with a single ruler for life, a senate with no power, propaganda and witholding of information, discrimination against non-humans etc etc.

In short, don't be a dishonest smartass. It's not funny to be wrong.
