Such barbarism is one good reason for Jesus to have established an entirely new platform for believers.

This is untrue. Jesus never invalidates the Old Testament. He just provided the means by which the passages that have been sighted are no longer necessary. Jesus provided a way to satify God's just punishment for sins.

I wouldn't use the term "invalidate" so much as "supersede."
The new covenant, however, is meant to replace the old covenant...not merely to add to it. The old forms the historical background for the new, but the new becomes all that really matters, except in the background or historical sense.
