Likewise, why don't field goal kickers kick short field goals from 8,9, or 10 yards behind the line?

I always thought the opposite, on long field goals they should set up further back. The problem with long field goals is they get blocked because they need to be kicked at a lower trajectory to make the distance. It they set up 10 yards back the ball has the extra distance to gain height to make it over the line.
