The LC500 is a serious design and performance machine and Toyota could have done much better than the new Supra. A picture of my LC500.

Except it’s the other way around- the LX570 was based on the Landcruiser.

The original Supra was based on the Celica with more power and morphed into it’s own model from there.

Basing it off the LC would compete with already existing LC-F models and make it much more costly putting it into another price bracket entirely.

Seems to me the logical base to start with for this iteration is the 86 (which is the closest spiritual successor to the Celica) - problem is that this is a Subaru based model, not Toyota so they would be limited in what they can do to it.
