Your generation elected and then moved into the government, you studied and became the lawyers who devised and passed these laws... so why did they get enacted and why haven't they all been overturned? The innovators and entrepreneurs didn't become bureaucrats. On the other hand, there are a lot of things that do make sense to which the writer objected, e.g., the health hazards of lead based paint are too well known to be the subject of dispute. The gist of the email to me was a remembrance of simpler times, ones in which kids didn't need to have "play dates" or complex electronic gizmos in order to enjoy themselves.
