Arthur legend is one of the richest sources of historical anthorism, so the idea of characters having short hair and wearing costumes containing leather, plate armor, and any type of fabric is by no means incorrect. The original tales by Mallory, Chrétien de Troyes were written as if they were taking place in the late middle ages, despite the fact the early authors claimed to set Arthur's Camelot in the 4th or 6th century. In a land of legendary fantasy historical accuracy counts for less than a haypenny. The creative and production team of "Merlin" including the sets, costumes and props reflect exactly what is intended: 'a time of myth in a land of magic'.
I don't really understand what your 'question' is. I suppose it was 'why does anyone like this awful show?'. In answer to that I'd say for starters, because most people don't think it's an 'awful show' to begin with. Every fan will like the show for different reasons, including because of the story, actors, style etc.
And I think your estimation of the talent on the series is hardly justified. The cast of "Merlin" brings out the best on current running television. If you don't like the series fine, but why rant over it on a fan gathering place? Joining a fan club for media you dislike insults your intelligence. Trolling is a nasty habit, it's really better to find more positive pastimes than wasting time posting on the internet about things you dislike.
