I was under the impression that towelroot just rooted the phone, it did not unlock the bootloader.

I have an at&t note 3 and I'm rooted using towelroot... But my bootloader is locked

If you unlock the bootloader on your device you will trip your Knox counter, causing your device's warranty to be completely void.

So it's perfectly fine from what it's doing.

Your impression is correct, towelroot just roots the device, it doesn't unlock the bootloader. So that's normal.
same here, used towelroot but can't flash ROM
You need to install safestrap recovery to flash ROMs. Granted on the AT&T version there are only touchwiz based ROMs because we can't flash any other kernels.

I'm not worried about voiding my warranty. As far as I know, there is no way to unlock the bootloader on at&t note 3.

Do you know of a way?

No, you cannot unlock the bootloader on the AT&T version.
