He, if given the chance, would have been amazing in the reboot. I think Craig has done a great job but like you, feel his stature and blond hair throws off the decades long style and feel of the character. Even still, I love the movies he's done as Bond.
That said, I doubt we'd be having this conversation had Hugh Jackman not refused the role in 2005.

Jackman was my top choice when they were recasting Bond after the Brosnan era. But I understand he was rejected by Barbara Broccoli for being too
"effeminate!!!" I think Babs had her site on Craig and nothing,... NOTHING was going to change that. This also explains why all the extra efforts are made for better quality of scripts and production. All is to sell Craig as Bond to a great section of the audience. They could have done the same for Jackman and everybody claiming Craig is the greatest Bond would have claimed the same for Jackman.
Brosnan had a lot going for him for the 007 except the commanding voice and delivery that Connery had. Craig is OK in that department. Too bad he just doesn't look like Bond.
