yorkchen (恭喜发财), I agree with you. So one should compare the two (standard deduction vs itemized deduction) and apply the bigger one as your deduction. Of course, itemized deduction is more than property tax, mortgage interest, and point you paid. In Ca, it also includes CA state income tax, vehicle registration tax, donation, work and medical related expenses (subject to xx % of AGI), etc.
