Yes, the Avatar State is broken, that's why Aang did not gain the ability to voluntarily enter it until the Series Finale, and also why Korra cannot do it yet. Now I suppose you might change your argument from "it's not broken" to "he could get it at the end."

Look, when you get down to the basic essentails, IF the authors wanted to write the ability in for Mako, they could do it. But in order to make it make it make sense, there would have to be a lot of retcons to explain why no Firebender before him has ever come up with this idea--Combustion Man was born with it. I realize that you WANT it to happen, but that isn't very convincing.
