Why doesn't the set NPC Z command exist?

NPCs do not have individual Z positions at all, that is why they have no set NPC Z command.

For those of you who don't understand what "Z" means in this context, it represents height off the ground. Heroes each have a Z position which can be manipulated using set hero Z. The Z value is the number of pixels UP that the hero/NPC is drawn relative to the tile they are actually standing on.

Maps also have a "foot offset" off the ground, which is the Z position for all the NPCs and the default for heroes. If you want to modify this instead, use set foot offset.
