So what? You have less blood, then why couldn't they simple let you donate less than tall people?
When blood isn't in your body, it coagulates. You can't just leave it in a bag. The bag that will contain the blood already have something in it that will help the blood stay liquid. There is enough to keep 450ml of blood liquid. If you don't donate enough blood, then there will be too much anticoagulant substance in the bag for the amouth of blood, which isn't good.
Also, all the pouches of blood in the blood bank need to be of the same size.
