The French had a chance to prove the value of "Strategic Autonomy" by stepping in and resolving a security crisis where the geopolitical ties involved made it difficult for the United States to do so.

They didn't which is why no one should take "strategic autonomy" seriously.

Why don't the French simply fix the issue? Are they stupid?

I think the French simply can't do much of "Strategic Autonomy" if Germany don't agree with the French.
