There's no reason why an ideal body needs to have such a high center of gravity though? Clearly we are wasting a lot of energy and capacity to maintain that balance. I am pretty the ideal body is actually a spider.

Humans are very space efficient

Actually bipedal systems are very energy efficient when walking and moving and very slightly inefficient when standing still.
