The line "Attitude" basically represents the fuselage
thats exactly my understanding, RetiredF4 - now look at the graphic again: the 'fuselage' is in a 13 deg nose-up attitude, while the wing profile (chord line) is shown almost horizontally - imho, that can't go together - wouldn't the whole wing profile have to be shown pointing upward, in accordance with the 13 deg nose up attitude (apart from the small 3 deg difference between the two)?

EDIT: basic question: is the depicted profile representing the main wing, or just the horizontal stabilizer with trimmable section? - mayby that would explain my misunderstanding.
