The Bible also mentions on multiple occasions that we should listen to elders or those in authority. There are more laws than just the 10 commandments.

Jesus, and later the first Christians, didn't have Bibles, yet the Church existed. By making the Bible preeminent, Luther focused on authority found in the written word, to the exclusion of the authority found in the institutional church - the same church which initially gathered Biblical books together and authorized them AS the Bible in the first place.
