The only reason why the head is involved is because he has it down - there's no way to hit the rest of Dal Colle without hitting his head first.
I want this type of hit to happen still. Am I wrong?

You are not wrong. But I think the League still needs to penalize head contact, if for no other reason than optics, and with the hope that it helps to reduce head injuries, which have to be the priority.
