Look at this bike below. The fork BLADE itself is STRAIGHT. But it is fastened to the steerer tube at an angle. That creates the reake/offset. This fork has almost the same amount of rake/offset as the blue bike I pictured earlier. 45mm vs 50mm.
Use a straight edge on your monitor in line with the head tube and you will see the the axle is well in front of the steering axis.

The rake of the fork is created ONLY by the curve of the blade the blue bike. That said, the rake is pretty normal and not big big factor. The lack of toe overlap is caused more by the long top tube and even more by the 70 degree head tube.

What I will be curious to discover now, is why reality is different from the output of bikecad and the basic math you can do, like 540 (front wheel) - 165 (crank arm) - 336 (radius of a 700/23) it leaves 39mm and that assuming no q-factor at all... how is it possible the tyre rubs/touch the crank?

And yet again, we agree. Although assuming that a specific bike size is needed and that a particular bike geometry (like in the case of the parallax) it is what it is sometimes I suppose, I repeat suppose not stating, that increasing the rake, reducing the crank arm length or wheel size are the only three viable options.

What is the 540 (front wheel) number you are using?

I suppose I'll have to wait when I get the frame in the upcoming weeks and I'll swap components with my current one. If it rubs I'll start looking for a 155mm crank which could be better for me anyway.

Here we are my build is now complete and here is my personal truth about the crank overlap. I got myself a parallax size XS(50) with a sugino 75 dd 165mm and 25mm schwalbe one tubeless tyres. Attached the clearance or lack of depending by how you see it. Toe overlap? Yes, but neither the crank arm nor the pedal touches the tyre
