The correlation you note is cross species. I thought within the same species it tends to be reversed (e.g. Smaller dog breeds live longer than big ones). Here's an unscientific article with a footnote that shorter people tend to live longer: http://m.mentalfloss.com/article.php?id=49358

What you say is true, but the proposal is to reduce the height of the human species as a whole. Thus the cross-species comparison might be applicable here (i.e. humans at their current height vs. a smaller derived species).
