I think it's important to take into account the audience CLAMP were writing for when they were doing CCS, as well as the extent to which they were accountable to the manga publisher and anime producer. CCS was originally published in Nakayoshi, a very popular and well-established monthly magazine aimed at kids in late elementary and junior high school. When the anime was aired, it was very, very popular with kids even younger and was aired on freakin' NHK, probably the most conservative network in Japan. For both Nakayoshi, a magazine with a very long history, and NHK, I imagine it was important for CLAMP to have a heroine that would not only appeal to the target audience, but would also fall in line with the traditional values of Nakayoshi/NHK (and, by extension, Japanese society as a whole). Sakura is someone who is cheerful, able to get along with peers, and always trying to do her best - all of which are perceived as "ideal" characteristics in a young girl/woman. I think CLAMP did what they could in terms of giving her faults, but had to work within a limited range of "acceptable faults."
