Cute that you had to excise the part of my post where I point out those other costumes didn't stick around so you could point out that they didn't stick around.
I specifically said they didn't stay. You said those costumes were NEVER changed, we merely pointed out the obvious fallacy in such a statement.
As for the rest.... matter of opinion. Your justification for her costume, and being "proud of her body" are simple rationalizations created by those who put her in a skimpy outfit in order to appeal to teen boys. Read some of the articles surrounding this, and other revamps in the past. One creative team wanted to make her breasts....plausible in size and THAT was vetoed..... for the sake of the character's integrity I'm sure.
Yes, her normal outfit IS more revealing than many of the other female heroes (such a question from you belies a little lack of knowledge, particularly odd since several examples have already been given in this very thread), and while some are more revealing, they are often joked about for their impracticality, both in the fan community and often in the comics themselves.
And this costume change, as with Superman, is tied to a story too.... so unbunch yer panties a little.

Looks like she woulda had pants in Joss' version, too. His costume designer Tweeted this the other day:
