I would submit that some people realized that height matters... as you say, the Hetzer was made, and my own favorite WW2 tank, the StuG. But the hubris that accompanied the design of the Maus tells me that the people who designed it (and those who authorized it) had no idea how important a low profile is. with that tank they weren't worried about low profile as it's size instantly produced some intimidation - think of what a sherman tank command would think if he saw one of them coming towards them on the horizon.
