Because we can't just ignore The Gathering, it's totally canon and referenced throughout the show, so that means that Delenn totally could just pick up grown men and carry them around.
Apparently! Although that does put us in the strange position of re-imagining "The Gathering" without everyone looking horrifying. Which I guess is sort of how we remember large parts of the series anyway (ie, imagining that MedLab isn't made of badly-painted plywood, imagining that the Centauri court doesn't look like it could be blown over with a breath, imagining the early space scenes don't look like a really bad video game...), so that doesn't change much in the end. Delenn, though... It just piques the curiosity.
It's hard to forget, much as one may want to. It really is a bizarre disconnect. This is the woman who stands down whole fleets, who bullies the Warrior caste on a regular basis.
