Einstein wasn't even that smart he was just stating the obvious which no one else wanted to admit, just like Galileo. They didn't actually do anything 'meaningful' how hard is it to just document the natural world. It doesn't take a genius to realize "apple fall down."
Einstein documented what could not be seen.

Is this a poor troll attempt? The "apple falls down" was Newton, which is now considered classical physics. BTW, Newton's law of gravity is still used for very complicated astrophysics, aerodynamics, etc.
Einstein literally developed the concept of spacetime. No one else was able to understand their relationship/connection. His theory of general relativity is the cornerstone of modern physics.
You claim that other people wanted to admit the "obvious"? That space and time are intricately woven together? Ok, name three people who unarguably knew this before Einstein.
Obviously a troll.......but compared to the original poster Einstein is definitely a genius.
Einstein got some pop culture fame toward the end of his life, and from that point on his name became synonymous with genius. It's not that others weren't geniuses, but they didn't have that celebrity that he did. Kinda like Steven Hawking.
Einstein was the first to explain the photoelectric effect. Next to Planck's work on blackbody radiation it was one of the discoveries that spurred the development of quantum mechanics.

Why do we worship Einstein like he was some kind of genius?
We don't.
He was.
