The number you're calculating is maximum static friction. Increase force, increase maximum static friction. Stronger brakes increase the threshold of friction between the road and the tire before locking up.
So no, you don't just lock up the brakes easier.

Increase maximum static friction on the rotor vs brake pad, not the tire vs the ground.
