You're right in terms of the level setting, but when you're building a car, the weight (which will change) will be something that affects ride height, along with wheel fitment and what you deem fashionable. When ride height changes (and you have a Panhard, which is like a 250-year old design, by the way), diagonal angle in the bar will be induced, and this will jack the axle one way or another (in a fixed position). That's no bueno. If you can't adjust the angle out (via vertical adjusters and the threaded heims on the bar), there will be an unmovable funk in your car's handling.

I always understood the Panhard bar should be level (@ ride height) & @ axle C/L or slightly below on a street car (track only might be different).
What's the problem here?
