So you're essentially saying, baldness doesn't really matter, but posture and overall good shape do.
Presumably, add clothes and manners and you're set, no matter if you're baldy or not.

Also, there's this gem:
At a press conference about Star Trek: The Next Generation, a reporter asked Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry about casting Patrick Stewart, commenting that "Surely by the 24th century, they would have found a cure for male pattern baldness." Gene Roddenberry had the perfect response.
"No, by the 24th century, no one will care."

I’m bald and although I’m blessed with a great skull shape, and being blonde haired also works to my advantage, I would lie if I said I wouldn’t be more attractive with hair.
The very premise of the show is that humans found a way to mostly move past the worst parts of their nature. Not just in Starfleet, but in general.
At least wrt. outside differences, I suppose it gets easier in a world full of "human with rubber forehead"-looking aliens.
Basically we had to hit our lowest point before we could get better.
