Why does Prusaslicer set the final temperature in two steps?
Since the bed usually takes longer to heat than the nozzle, the nozzle is in a pre-warmup stage so that it doesn't ooze filament waiting for the bed while homing and/or finding the Z limit.

CR-6 SE glass build plate - no lifting possible
I have had similar issues, and I have learned three tricks:
Some slicers (i.e. Cura) let you specify the height of your first layer, and I have found that slowly incrementing up from 0.16 mm by 0.2 ...
