Judging people by their looks works well for the vast majority of cases.
So here's the thing: Looks are not something that just randomly fell into place or whatever, but they are to a large part the result of choices and efforts made. For example, if you are well kept and wear a professional outfit, you're probably someone that cares a lot about impressions and your career, and most likely you have a fairly conservative outlook on life. Equally, if you look like a stoner or like you don't care about your looks, then that also says something about your values and beliefs. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but it's just obvious. If you are a woman, cut your hair short, and dye it three different colors, it's also not too hard to guess your political leanings. Same for someone running around in polo shirts and boat shoes only.
In the vast majority of cases, going by the initial impression leads to fairly good results. No, looks don't mean everything, and yes, I am aware of the halo effect, but really this "Don't judge a book by it's cover!" nonsense needs to stop.
