Deemed legal, I can now receive credit based on the lowest point on my robot, which presumably is somewhere in Level 1-3. Again, I don't see the problem--where is the rule that states I must contact a level near the one for which I will receive points?

There is no rule saying that. There is a rule stating how climb points are determined.

3.5.1.2
The Level to which a ROBOT has CLIMBED is determined by the lowest point of the ROBOT (in relation to the FIELD).

Seeing as how no other rules are broken, the supported robot would gain as many climb points as whatever zone the lowest point is in.
