So what's the intent of the line ? Ppl will be using it to go crosstown or locally E-W

Yes.
The point of this Transt City line is that this increases the current capacity, and most importantly allows commuters to be protected from the increasingly slow bus times that are forecast.

Absolutely. Which is why the service will be more frequent than it specifically needs to be on day 1.
Until such as time as both you and I are worm food? Yes. There is a huge amount of capacity built into the line that will be available when the time comes, and only people who are living in some sort of fantasy world where SimCity rules apply to the construction of the built form of Toronto think otherwise.
Nor am I.

Just so everyone knows what AM peak service levels were back in January 2020 pre-pandemic:
34 Eglinton East : every 4 minutes (15/h) to Don Mills, every 6 (10/h) to Kennedy Station
54 Lawrence East: every 4'30" (13.3/h) to Leslie
51 Leslie: Every 20' (3/h) to Leslie
56 Leaside: Every 10' (6/h) to Laird
So 37/h as far as Laird, 31/h to Leslie, 15/h to Don Mills, 10/h to Kennedy Stn. Multiply by 50 to get roughly equivalent capacity.
32 Eglinton West: Every 3'30" (17/h) from Yonge to Keele, every 7' west of Keele/Trethewey. Separate 11'30" 32D service from Eg West to Jane/Emmett.
January 2025 Winter Schedules:
34 Eglinton East: 6' to Don Mills, 9' to Kennedy
54 Lawrence East: 5' to Leslie
51 Leslie: 24' to Leslie
56 Leaside: 15' to Laird
32 Eglinton West: 4' to Keele, 8' w to Renforth. 32D service every 16'
Don't believe the TTC myths about 90% recovery of service levels.

Looking at this photo, the train kind of looks like a mamba snake with the way the headlights are arranged and the shape of the nose, as well as the overall length of the train

Just wait till everyone realizes that the trains are stopping far away from the street entrance and they would have to run 35 meters to catch the train.

That will bring back Line 1 memories!
Though some of the Line 4 entrances are like that now. You just don't notice, because the "temporary" wall around the extra train length just looks to be a corridor.

Has it actually been stated that trains in service will stop at the far end of the surface platforms?

With two-car trains, the trains will likely have a door near the platform entrance. Don't have to run to the door next to the driver.
I have started to use the rear doors on buses, for both entering and exiting the bus (there is a PRESTO reader at the rear door). My pet-peeve is seeing people walking through the entire bus to exit the front door after the bus stops at a bus stop.

They been doing this regularly plus there is a huge screen install in the middle of the two tracks at the front for operators to see the train's aligning. This requires the train to stop far away from the streets for all far side stops.

All trains will stop at the forward end of every single platform. All of the safety equipment has been configured for this - bollards to prevent access to the intercar areas, platform viewing displays, etc.
At some stops, this means that on day 1 of service yes, the train will be stopping further away from the access to the platform. But at others, they will be stopping closer.
When it comes time to start operating 3-car trains however, there will be no difference to the operators in terms of where they are required to stop the train and thus no additional training.
