Shouldn't the team that beat the champion in league play be considered higher ranked than the team that lost to the champion?
Maybe... but as you said here:

Which only matters in h2h if they tied with Queen City.
It compares only the teams with the tied win/loss records, not whether they beat the best teams in the league.
In the case of Taurus, the Simpsons lost twice to BCM and once to Whoville, who are already in the playoffs. However, the Wolfpack lost to The Simpsons in their H2H and the other division leader, TT's Constellation Superstars, twice.
In that case... what if TT's had dropped their last game? TT's record would have been 2 wins against Wolfpack, a win against BCM, and a loss against the Simpsons. Suddenly having another team in the mix changes who gets in through the wildcard, even though they were clearly the division winner.
