I-70 should really swap with I-270 east of Frederick, since Washington is the more important destination

True, unfortunately, that Washington is the more important destination. Alternately, run I-68 to DC as it's the "National Freeway" west of I-70.

Saginaw should be a control city on I-69. It's 30 miles off it so it makes sense right?

Let's not get carried away Flint. :)
My only point in bringing up Atlanta for I-16 was that if you continue in that same trajectory, Atlanta does make sense as a control for I-16. I do believe Macon should also remain since it is a legit city and at a major junction.

This was a knock on having Albany, Georgia as a control city on I-75.

Initially, both DC and Baltimore got a suffix of I-70 (I-70N for Baltimore and I-70S for DC). Imo one of the suffixed splits that actually make sense, as they're in the same urban area and both major cities. Eventually, the suffixes had to be dropped because I-70 isn't I-35, and Baltimore got mainline I-70 as they were still planning their section to I-95 then while DC's was canceled already.
