You could cheat a little.
Select just a face and extrude-tapered. A "Perfect point" will fail and disappear, but you can zoom in and stop just before it is a perfect point.

In real life there is no such thing as a perfect point.

Then you can separate all the pieces and show points and just grab and stretch the bottom points down for as tall of an extrusion as you need.
