Not really, all he had was a suspect (Light, who Near suspected himself WITH NO INFLUENCE FROM L) and he knew of the Death Note (only because Light planned for them to come into contact with the Death Note. Hell, remember who first suspected the Yotsuba Group of having Kira in their numbers? It was Light, not L. So L never found out about the Desu Nooto on his own, it was all orchestrated by Light.
Near and Mello received none of L's data (it was deleted by Watari anyway), so it was stated that they had to gather all the data themselves. Mello, Near and L all found out about the Death Note because of the same incident, the Higuchi car chase thingy.

Light himself understood why Mikami made the mistake (because he followed orders perfectly, but he had two conflicting orders, which were to hide the Death Note at all times in the safe, and to kill people in Kira's place). Plus, Misa made mistakes, too. They were able to trace those tapes she sent to Sakura TV back to her because she left hairs.
tl;dr L fanboyism is annoying, Near and Mello rock, the creators agreed, don't bother them about it.
