The intent of Nasu was to create a "superman", according to supplementary materials. Tokiomi is a perfect man in every aspect. He is a loving father, a great husband. Because of his business decisions, House Tohsaka was able to accumulate unprecedented wealth. He is also quite a good magus, as you can see Gilgamesh's status are great under him (Servants get better status under good magus).
Of course there's the "Tohsaka curse", i.e. "always screws up at the pivotal moment". You see this in action in Ep 17. You also saw Rin's version of the curse kicking in while she summoned Archer an hour before her planned ideal time, lol.
You would love Tokiomi too if you are his child. That man is a boss.
EDIT:
You may argue "but look how he threw Sakura into a hell hole".
It was not his fault really. Any competent magus would have chosen the same path. Magi's goal is to reach Akasha, and doubling the chance of your descendants reaching Akasha is something you absolutely cannot pass up.
Also, House Matou had been quite a valorous House. Young Zouken was quite the hot-blooded hero. Tokiomi probably had absolutely no idea the head of House Matou had fallen so far from grace.
'Tis all an unfortunate series of events, really.
