Folk, don't fall down the rabbit hole of trying to find a "realistic" or "scientific" explanation for Superman. The reason he looks like a human and has all his powers is because he's fictional, he isn't constrained by the rules of the real world.
Of course he's ludicrous, but that's ok because he's a story. People have accepted him and loved him for eighty years despite being ludicrous.
I had a theory, that Kryptonians were humanoid aliens but did not look exactly like humans, (think similar to Vulcans or Klingons from Star Trek) but due to "convergent evolution theory" they had humanoid form.
When Jor El looked for possible Planets where he could send baby Kal El, he found Earth and he sent a probe which collected data and found what Humans looked like and other information (while staying hidden in stealth mode), then Jor El did a few genetic modifications so that his son looked exactly like humans.
So that he would face no difficulty in living among humans as a human.
