I think your perspective is fair.

Personally, I think that the Commission should be directly elected by the Parliament from it's members, which would make it much more similar to the national governments.

I'm not sure the Council (i.e. the member states) would agree to that though.

At least since Lisbon, the EP has some (not enough) power over Commissioners.

I agree. This would also mean there have to be coalition negotiations. It would drastically increase the public debate across Europe and give people more stake in what is going on.
