You also notice that Jesus was shorter than Adam. Less perfect than Adam? Inferior? In Dignity?

Jesus was perfect. But we are talking about size physicality and you knew that. Also note:
1.He lived the life of a refugee in his youth.
2. The child of poor, working-class parents in a generally impoverished land.
3. A lowly carpenter, who prior to His ministry years, must have worked long and hard, suffering the cuts, bruises, pains and splinters associated with this trade—all the while abstaining from use of miraculous powers that would have made His work so easy
4. Took the form of a lowly, generic, plain Jew—No one ever reported that Jesus was amazingly handsome, tall, beautiful eyes or had a great physique. He could have taken the form of a handsome prince, as befits His identity, yet again He chose total humility.
5. He had every right to come in a blaze of Glory with a band of angels accompanying Him heralding His arrival. He came as a humble and meek person so people could relate to Him and be drawn to Him because of His message, not His wealth, power or physical size.

We read the Scriptures differently.
