Your vote for POTUS is exactly proportional to your say in the House and Senate. And putting aside gerrymandering, I also don't hear many people saying it's unfair you don't get to vote for ALL the reps in your state.
The POTUS isn't a representative of your state. Legislators cast votes on behalf of their state/district. POTUS represents the entire country. So the comparison you draw here doesn't really work.
Also, I have made the argument for getting rid of districts and going for proportional representation for the HoR on here.
