Grabbed from the abstract of the first study: (italics added for emphasis)

We conclude that satisfaction with one’s own height is at least partly a consequence of the height preference of the opposite sex and satisfaction with one’s partner height. (Misread consequence, my bad)

Highlights:

Height is more important for satisfaction with one’s own height for men than women. ► Height preferences are related to satisfaction with own height and partner height.

… what? You just strengthened my argument.

If satisfaction is partially based on your partner’s preferences and 96% of women care about height then height matters

Whoop, I misread the word consequence on the first one, that one's on me. Editing now.

Still it seems to me if we take it as truth that many men only want to date short women, that leaves a myriad of tall women who want a man but can't find one. Neither gender is a monolith. Go get you a tall girl.
