I don't think it's a terrible crime, but yeah, it was a stupid and sexist thing to say. And yeah, some of the reaction was doubtless well over the top, but it's absolutely right to call people when they make sexist comments like this.
The presumption that a successful professional should be described first as a "beautiful creature" is plain stupid.
Not as stupid as the whining little babies who can't see how the systematic objectification of hard working people can be irritating, mind you.
So, when you walk into a place and see a woman, the first thing you notice is her wit? Her sense of humor? Do you meet all people with closed eyes so you won't see their looks first?
Gosh... that was insightful. Where the fuck did I suggest that.
Oh... nowhere.
It was implied, crazy.

You're assuming that she was considered a "successful professional" when he first saw her. You're also assuming that he knew who she was, her wit and how bright she was when he first saw her.

Had he stated that she was witty and bright, and turned out to be the most beautiful creature he'd ever seen, he'd be railed for the prejudice that witty and bright women aren't usually beautiful. Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.
You're missing a very big point. Either because you're stupid or you're being a jackass.
In either case, I'm just not inclined to help you.
You're missing the point. Inclined or not, any "help" you'd offer to me is unlikely to actually be helpful to me.
