I often wish Le Guin's books were the wizarding story that became embedded in our culture rather than HP.

A million times yes. Le Guin was a treasure and her books reflected that, especially Earthsea.

I also wish that I had encountered the Earthsea books as a kid, because I know they would have blown my tiny mind.

I did and they did. Along with Susan Cooper's "The dark is rising" books and all of Alan Garner's varied creations ("The Owl Service" is quite something). I suspect Robert Holdstock owes a lot to Alan Garner's influence.
