This question betrays a misconception of the asker. Swamy Dayanand did never criticise Hinduism. He himself was a devout Hindu and became a monk according Hindu tradition. But it is true that he wanted Hinduism to be known by another name i.e. Vedic religion or Arya religion because he thought the term 'Hindu' was denigrating to the Hindus, by virtue of being first used by Persians. He wanted to re-establish the Vedas as the supreme authority for Hinduism as he thought that their position was unjustly usurped by the latter-day books such as mythological texts and epics. He refused to recognize the latter-day monistic Hindu cults such as Saivism and Vaishnavism and declared that whatever name appeared in the Vedas, it solely addressed one single God Almighty, but not different gods like most Hindus and others understood them.
His constant refrain was "Let's go back to the Vedas" He wanted the Vedas to be the sole holybook for the Hindus, like The Bible is to the Christians and Qoran to Muslims. So, it is clear that he wanted the ancient Hinduism in place of its modern version which accepts the message of every godman, not just the Vedas.

Though this has not been officially declared, but Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati, the founder of Arya Samaj is considered as the 'Rashtrapitamah' as he laid the foundation of the freedom movement in India and Mahatma Gandhi followed his path to get India's independence. Mahatma Gandhi, the Rashtrapita (Father of the Nation) is said to have reaped what Swami Dayanand Saraswati had sown for the Nation for its freedom (Swarajya).Since, Mahatma Gandhi has been declared as Rashtrapita (Father of Nation), Swami Dayanand for sure can be called Rashtrapitamah (Grandfather of Nation) - he being a social and political father of the 'Father of the Nation' (Rashtrapita).Gandhi said that Balganga Dhar Tilak was his political Guru and Tilak had learnt the lessons of Swarajya from Dada Bhoi Naroaji whereas it is the historical fact that Naroaji had learnt these lessons from Swami Dayanand Saraswati through his writings (Satyarth Prakash) as the historians write.Gandhi's practice of Ahimsa, Nonviolence, Truth, his fight against untouchability and emancipation of women and their education were all the givings and teachings of Swami Dayanand Saraswati.So it is but imperative that Swami Dayanand Saraswati be addressed and called as Grandfather of Indian Nation or Rashtrapitamah.

Both Swami Dayanand Saraswati and Swami Vivekanand have a great place in the Indian rather World History in the fields of spirituality and philosophy. While Swami Dayanand (1824-1883) was a Revolutionary Reformer and a Vedic Sanskrit Scholar, Swami Vivekanand was a disciple of Ramakrishna who appeared on the Indian scene much later (1863-1902), was a philosopher who spoke for Hinduism and worked for infusing energy into the youth of India. Dayanand had sown the seeds for the Indian freedom (Swarajya) in 1876 which were furthered by Naroaji, Tilak, Gandhi and millions of freedom fighters and revolutionaries by their sacrifices.
