the terminator - Why were the "infiltrator" T101 units built on such a conspicious body?

It was noted that the Terminators (T101) were infiltrator units, designed to infiltrate the resistance.

Given the ragged undernourished humans of the time, wouldn't making an infiltrator body into the hulking over-built Conan The Destroyer frame be something totally illogical if your goal is to blend in?

Why not use a more "normal" body? Robots already have metal frame and super-strong muscles, so size wasn't required to bump the combat capacity as with flesh and bone humans.

Cameron: That's not Cromartie. Endoskeletal structure points don't match. He's too short.

Carter:

Here is Cameron vs Cromartie:

Here is Cameron vs Rosie (the Terminator):

From this we can see there are a wide variety of terminator chasis for blending in.
