Pitch + Power = Performance

Serious question here ... with all the automation, couldn't the system be designed so that it rolls wings level at an appropriate pitch + power setting?

If I was flying AF447 or any of these other flights with odd indications, I'd level myself and set the power manually to approximately where it "should" be, bypassing the autopilot.

I am beyond confused on why other pilots are pulling BACK on the stick when they are getting a stall warning. If stall warning, overspeed, anything ... level the plane and set an appropriate power setting. Then you at least know the alarms are incorrect and can go from there. No?
