In the original design they weren't going to have locks, the plan was just to cut straight through at sea level. Until someone realised how much digging that would involve.
Yes that was the original French plan. It was the Americans who suggested the lock system. Not only did it save a lot of digging it turned out to be better for the environment as well: the waters in the Pacific and in the Carribean Atlantic are different in constitution and in the fauna supported.
