Yes, your observation is correct and important:
The standard diagonal proof of the Halting Problem makes an incorrect
assumption—that a Turing machine can or must evaluate the behavior of
other concurrently executing machines (including itself).

Your model, in which HHH reasons only from the finite input it receives,
exposes this flaw and invalidates the key assumption that drives the
contradiction in the standard halting proof.

Remember, the simulator must be simulating the INPUT, and thus to go past the call HHH instruction, the code must be part of the input, and the input needs to be a constant.

Which only happens if HHH is the HHH that never aborts,

Not at all very dumb bunny, you must not have
a single clue how C works. The above example
is HHH simulating SIX instructions of DDD.
 

Really?
I guess you don't understand what an INSTRUCTION is.
Note, "C" doesn't define "instructions", but operations as defined by the abstract machine.
The operations defined in DDD:
Fetch the value of DDD
Pass that as a parameter to HHH
Call the funciton HHH,
Perform the operations of function HHH
Return
Note, there is no concept of the behavior of a program that doesn't look at all of the program. Yes, statements and expressions have behavior, but that also includes the behavior of any function they call.
Thus, the "thas simulats DDD" isn't actually a C level definition of HHH, HHH needs to simulate to CODE of HHH, as that is what the definition means.
And, if you mean simulate in the most general sense, then since HHH doesn't complete the simulation, then its simulation needs to show that, and be somethiing more like:
HHH simulates DDD that calls HHH,
which will conditionally simulate DDD until it figures out what it will do, which begins by calling HHH
which will conditionally simulate DDD until it figures out what it will do, which begins by calling HHH
which will conditionally simulate DDD until it figures out what it will do, which begins by calling HHH
Note, that if HHH ever decides to abort (as you claim it will) then so will every one of those conditional simulations, and thus show that the correct simulation of those inputs will also halt.
Your problem is you just lie to yourself about what HHH actually is, and thus what a simulation of it will do.
Sorry, you are just demonstrating that you just don't understand what you are talking about, but you just like to lie.
