Being unnecessarily tall is an evolutionary disadvantage and only exists as a result of human females' failed mate selection. Let me explain...
Being tall is tied to the following health hazards:
This tells us that female mate selection selects for traits that the female brain falsely perceives as dimorphic and, thus, actually ends up weakening the species.
You can observe this same phenonemon in other species such as deer:
In deer, female mate selection prefers males with bigger antlers, causing the males of that species to develop bigger and bigger antlers with every generation:
The issue here is that overly large antlers bear no evolutionary advantages. Actually, the opposite is the case. Male deer with oversized antlers are known to get stuck in trees and branches and literally die from starvation or fall prey to predators:

So we can observe the same evolutionary phenomenon in deer that we also see in humans in regards to height. Female mate selection actually ends up corrupting the species and weakening it. In the case of humans and height, making us less agile and athletic with reduced stealth ability and more prone to various diseases and health issues. Bigger humans also naturally require more resources (food), which naturally is a huge disadvantage.
Conclusion:
We can conclude that the ideal human height for males is anywhere from 5'9 to 5'11. Females should be no taller than 5'8. This ensures ideal proportions and aesthetics, as well as optimal health and survivability outcomes.
Being tall is tied to the following health hazards:
- irregular heartbeat
- varicose veins
- peripheral neuropathy
- lower extremity ulcers
- atrial fibrillation
- higher cancer risk
- etc.

The issue here is that overly large antlers bear no evolutionary advantages. Actually, the opposite is the case. Male deer with oversized antlers are known to get stuck in trees and branches and literally die from starvation or fall prey to predators:
Years ago, Danny Abrams heard about a strange phenomenon: Deer skeletons were being found beside trees in the forests of the Midwest. These male deer had apparently gotten their massive, unwieldy antlers caught in the branches, where they’d found themselves trapped. Unable to find food or flee predators, they quickly met their demise.

Go Big or Go Generic: How Sexual Selection Is Like Advertising
When it comes to attracting mates, it pays to either go all out—or not try at all
So we can observe the same evolutionary phenomenon in deer that we also see in humans in regards to height. Female mate selection actually ends up corrupting the species and weakening it.
