In another world that wouldn't be the problem, as who would be sexually interested in their own daughter? What kind of world are we in now?
One where he was fondling his daughter's chest longer than he had to, especially since he's physically an adult and could have yanked his hand away anytime. She's a little girl, not a Servant with Strength EX.
At this point, Komashu is barely even his "daughter". They've been together barely a week and there's a very good chance they're not even biologically related at all.
Most countries have laws against it due to the higher probability of genetic diseases from recessive traits turning on.

I don't think DaVinci would half-ass the job. And the fact she's maybe a week old is also a huge problem, much less her biological age being that of a child. There's multiple things wrong here.
They also work in a place with a time machine, Komashu could very well be a very young Mashu pulled out of time. Mashu herself is only 2 years old as a design child

I'd like to live in that other world, too, because in this world, incestual statutory rape is a very real thing. I mean, why is this even a fetish to start with? If it were something that were really, truly incomprehensible to most people, this whole sequence would be like him wondering if he should fuck the toaster - something everyone would stare at blankly because they cannot in any way comprehend the motives.

I doubt if early religious injunctions were based on medical reasons --- same with Hebrews forbidden pork, blamed on trichinosis fears now --- more 'Shut the fuck up about your daughters, you disgusting old creep: there ought to be a law.'

I'm pretty sure direct parent-child incest was done due to a natural aversion to the concept that doesn't need to be forced by religious precepts. (In fact, I don't even recall anything telling people that father-daughter snoo-snoo is bad because it's pretty much just assumed.)
That said, a lot of anti-incest laws that were passed, especially in the middle ages were passed to prevent Hapsburg-style inheritance-hoarding schemes. If any of you play Crusader Kings, you'll realize that keeping claims to your land within your family is a key survival strategy, or conversely, lack of such is a key avenue to gain Casus Belli from which to attack. The Hapsburgs went around marrying nephews to aunts in a bid to make sure that no loose offspring could marry out of the family to give anyone else a claim on their lands, up until the point that they started developing the "Hapsburg Jaw" (don't look it up), and needing to be spoonfed by servants because they can't work their own mouths on their own. Still, as a power-hoarding strategy, it did work, and before destroying themselves, the Hapsburgs were capable of becoming Kaiser of the Holy Roman Empire, Kings of Spain, and holding a sizable influence on the Catholic Church, which was why it was made illegal elsewhere.
On the Jews specifically, it's also worth noting that they're also forbidden from shellfish (which are often scavengers, and therefore would eat the dead, diseased fish, and also human waste that came down their rivers), and also had strict rules on how to cook their food (which basically amounted to "boil it to mush"), so taken as a whole, it's pretty easy to see it as a set of rules on how to mitigate food-borne diseases. Keep in mind, the lack of soap, the fact that they had to fertilize fields with human waste, and a whole host of other sanitary issues, and it's pretty easy to see it as folkloric guidance on what was available to them to avoid salmonella than a purely spiritual concern.

It's interesting to know that Charles II of Spain had Klinefelter syndrome, which caused him infertility and mental incapacity between other symptoms. This infertility would cause him to have no children, so in the end the war between Philippe V of France and the Archduke Charles of Austria was to be expected, because the heir he chose died and nobody wanted France and Spain to be allies.
About the jews, there is an illness called "Tay-Sachs" which is more common for the american jews than for other americans, due to endogamy and cosanguinity they had.
