What I'm trying to get at is that all of these factors matter, not just one of these factors in isolation. Ethereum also has larger block size over time, and I'm sure it processes far more transactions than Bitcoin.

Suppose that Bitcoin Cash were to increase in price ten-fold, then logically it would make economic sense to burn ten times as much energy to mine it, no matter how many transactions are processed.

You are right. I suppose a fair target to tune would be the cost-of-51%-attack instead of an arbitrary block size or percent fees.
