There are ways to increase capacity without a new runway: bigger aircrafts on average, improvements in air traffic / ground control technology, moving some traffic earlier / later in the day, etc.. A lot of major airports are feeling these constraints so there are industry wide incentives to focus on these things.
You're basically describing ways of optimizing roads, and yet we sit here with a society that even when developing a master plan where the stated goals are optimization, and multi-modal enablement spends most of it's capital budget on ensuring that the peak capacity seen for an hour a day 5 days a week is met.
Same for parking.
