You've quoted the seattube angle as the headtube angle, and as a result a lot of what you've written about the geo changes is wrong. The HTA on the new bike is actually ever so slightly slacker than on the previous one.

With a slacker HTA and greater fork offset the Gen 3 front centre is approx 1mm shorter than the Gen 2. How much more is that really going to try and send you over the bars, honestly?
