Who says men cannot have 4 wives? Can, but as stated in 4:3 and 4:129, we can derive that God discourages men to do so, in view of it being more problematic in life rather than being in a harmonious happy life...

I don't agree that polygamy should be banned. God never said polygamy is prohibited. It's like telling a small kid, "don't play with fire, you'll burn you hand". But if you are smart enough to use an asbestos hand gloves, why not? Then again, when the manufacturer of the asbestos glove itself say, "this glove can only stand fire for such and such period of time, after that we self destruct like that tape recorder in james bond movie"....would you still want to play with that fire?
