Socrates deserved to be found guilty. He clearly did not believe in the city's gods, and indeed avoids any outright claim that he does in the Apology. Even his reference to Apollo avoids naming him, since he says "the god at delphi".
Also, many of the youths he tutored (such as alcibiades and charmides) turned out to be harmful to the city of athens in their political antics.

Literal Nazi-tier. Ancient Athenians were literally fascist democrats.

You are correct, Meletus did nothing wrong, the charges were only strange in that they weren't worded the same way as other similar cases. No one cared if you agreed with the letter of the divine myths, orthodoxy was the exception at the time Socrates was tried, but being found to be a Physicos (someone who adequate the Gods with physical forces) was still a death sentence, and something philosophers were aware of and actively tried to avoid by disguising their teachings.
Couple this with the political issues surrounding his students and Socrates himself, and it all fits perfectly.
