By chance did you ever replace the master cyl?

Reason is if the new master had the push rod retainer in the piston and the old pushrod had the old keeper still attached it might have made the pedal higher.

Looks like mine Brake pedal is about 2” higher than yours. Doesn’t seem like much, but, 8” distance from the foot on the gas to the pedal feels dangerous. If I’m right foot breaking, I often catch the side of the pedal with the side of my shoe. Can be quite thrilling. Also, I’m 6’4” tall, so, when I exaggerate the movement of my leg to make sure I’m going high enough, I’m my knee comes close to hitting the steering wheel.

To be fair, by DD is a modern car, so, it might be that I’m just not use to it.
