Everybody's built different. my knees would be uncomfortably close to those bars, and I'm of relatively normal build as well.
If your brake is working fine, you don't "need" a longer housing, but it does look like there is a bit of a kink by the brake there, and the housing will probably wear out faster. when it starts to bind replace the cable and housing with slightly longer. It's not a problem until it becomes a problem, and then it's a cheap easy fix.
