Bernoulli has not been discredited at all.
When you apply his equations to problems in the right context they work perfectly.

Bernoulli equations calculate the pressure drop when some part of a fluid flows faster, this is true the pressure does drop, but trying to apply this to explain why an aerofoil produces lift is flawed because the theory of why an aerofoil produces life was flawed in the first place as the principal of equal transit times has been shown to be false.
