Suggestions to improve the new Wild Shape

Where did I say that Wild Shape should be comparable to being a Fighter? I stated right away that I understood why the nerf happened - the temp HP was too much - I just didn't agree with how far they took it, and how bland and lifeless the new homogenized stat block is. If you're talking about the d10 hit die, then yes, I think it's really hard for the druid to survive in melee with Wild Shape if they don't get something additional. Especially since Wild Shape's AC can't compare to a Fighter's.

For what it's worth, I agree with most of your post. But Wild Shape is utterly worthless for non-Moon Druids now from 1-10th level, so why even have it as a part of the main class?
