It's the camera angle that make them look like that and they are really high riser bars.
The frame takes stone impacts really wel,better than with paint

It is not the camera. Compare your setup: www.pinkbike.com/photo/9848185
to the setup of pro riders. like www.pinkbike.com/photo/4889636
Spend some time and find some more to look closely.
I am not telling you should listen to me, but look at them. Your bar should be a prolongation of arms and brake levers of fingers. All in the basic DH riding position, like standing up with the weight between the wheels, just like you measure sag.
If I were you I'd turn the bar towards the rear end of the bike by at least 10degrees so the very bending and rise of the bar has chance to absorb bumps and fit your hands and wrists. By the same the brake levers should be turned down at least 5degress, so they could be reached standing up on pedals without bending wrists upwards. These are details but will give you comfort, more grip (as your hands will grasp the bar more and better - larger surface) and control.
This is ergonomics and this is how humans are built. If you riding with your present geometry this is probably due to your habbits after xc or trail riding in the past. Downhill is always ridden standing up. It will be a very strange feeling for you to try my advice and ride with them turned so much, but after few days you will appreciate this and ride with more confidence. I had the same situation and now whenever I am repositioning the levers I keep it down as possible.
Can you post some pictures of the frame after stone impacts?

How does the frame take new stone dents without any paint?
