I think this is a huge leap! Walking more doesn't necessarily mean fewer cars in the road, and if you want to encourage more walking, you will likely have to create more pedestrian spaces, which will in turn lead to a greater need to regulate the flow of traffic. Moreover, your argument only supports less need for zoning laws, not their complete elimination.
