Another way to approach the question of whether Isaac Asimov was a product of his times is to examine his use of science in this science fiction. For example, writing as Paul French in the Lucky Starr series, Asimov examined each planet in the solar system. The planets and asteroids were faithful to what scientists believed at the time. As science changed, so did Asimov's descriptions of known planets. Each story used the most up-to-date science at the time it was written. Of course he was a product of his time.
