What is the minimum distance from the floor for a 1/2 bath power outlet?

Question

I am remodeling our 1/2 bath and about to mount a floating sink/vanity. There is an existing power outlet on the side wall, that is in the way and that is about 10” from the floor (measured to the bottom of the receptacle). Would it be to the code (KY, USA) if I moved the outlet down a bit where it is 6” above floor, just clearing a 5.5” tall baseboard?  This is the only putlet in this bathroom, and its circuit is already GFCI-ed in another bathroom.
Edit: added photo for better illustration of the two options I am considering.

A receptacle not serving the basin has no height requirement in a dwelling unit, but...
2017 NEC 210.52(D)Bathrooms. At least one receptacle shall be installed in bathrooms within 3 ft of the outside edge of each basin...In no case ...be located more than 12 in. below the top of the basin.
I don't have record of when this was adopted but it isn't highlighted grey in the codebook, so it has been in there since 2014 at least.
I think it may have been possible if the switches are within 3' that there was a receptacle and switch, the switch fed both the light and fan but somebody removed the receptacle to have space to put a timer on the fan. If it is only one circuit in that switchbox and it feeds receptacles outside of this bathroom it wouldn't meet current code. I don't know what the code said when built but modifications are required to meet current code.
