What are some widely praised historic people who are famous for some good thing, but also held opinions/did things that are today considered strongly politically incorrect on the side?
Richard Wagner (composer) for example was a strong antisemite, and John Ruskin (social thinker, art critic) was a pedophile.
Sartre and Beauvoir also did some morally questionable lewd things, like coercing and manipulating underaged students to sleep with Sartre and then laughed behind their backs.

Probably everyone. This is why judging every detail of the lives of past figures by modern moral standards is idiotic

Darwin seemed like a descent fellow. Change everyone with the majority and I agree.
Voltaire stands out for me since he supposedly preached values while at the same time saying racist stuff that contradicted those. Please correct me if wrong, don't wanna check if true.

I guess it's hard to say. We don't have diaries for everyone, and we don't know what their private lives were like. Odds are practically all men (and the vast majority of women, too) were extremely sexist by today's standards. Racism, like you said, was pretty prevalent too, even if it was of a benevolent variety.
For example, Bartolome de las Casas is generally considered a good guy for reporting on the extermination of the native Caribbeans, but his understanding of the Caribbean natives is that they were "God's people" because he thought they were extremely weak. I don't think this would be an okay opinion to have today, so even nice opinions could be extremely patronizing by modern standards.
