If utilitarianism says that you must give the greatest honor (because happiness entails honor and social position) to the greatest number, why not give the greatest glory to the smallest child, since small children have not done as many bad things as adults.
Non-sequiter. What does doing the greatest good to the greatest number have to do with the number of bad things that number has done?

Why are you racist against non-children? With an aging population, you are racist against way more people than I am.
