With the knee bend, the upper leg is proportionally bigger than it should be because the "knee" becomes effectively part of it. But while we are on the subject of human anatomy, the thighbone is in fact supposed to be longer than the shinbone. On top of that Toriyama very often draws it to the same effect of how it's seen on the figure as showcased by pics in the previous thread.
The Kid Goku body that Gohan shares is somewhat more elongated compared to the manga drawings, yes. But this is, again, where you have to keep in mind functionality. Thicker it gets, harder to pose. Balance between functionality and accuracy. If that neck joint sits any deeper than it does now, you practically can't get movement out of it anymore.
All said and done, I'm starting to feel that either you didn't care that much about Gohan to begin with or you're just a poorfag who's trying hard to justify skipping on this figure. It's not "perfect", no (which SHF is?) but it's far removed from what you make it out to be.
