Why would you think Maxwell would disregard actual measurements?
He wasn't stupid, you know.

You are projecting your own beliefs onto Maxwell.

Also, Fizeau's experiment  has been reproduced many, many times since 
then.

Actual measurements always trump theory. In this case Fizeau's results
trump the Galilean Transformation theory.

"It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how
smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong."
