I'll also grant that most of the bottom was built before most of the top.
But your thinking isn't helpful in solving this. It's ironic that you figures aren't even correct since this was a step pyramid and the step pyramid was completed before much of the filling of the sides was done. This affects the equation. Your observation while generally correct limits the ability to solve this. It is akin to saying it's far easier to lift a heavy weight by dragging it on a ramp than just picking it up. Obviously this is true if the weight is too heavy to lift. But suddenly we have "they mustta used ramps".
They built this the only way they could; one step at a time. If this is true (and it must be) then your statement is both false and misleading. It is a landmark to how you believe it was built.

Man fears the pyramid, time fears man.
