** Daniel was playing a character he created. He wasn't hiding his identity as Mrs. Doubtfire. In fact, it was popular enough he had probably been interviewed out of character on other shows on the station Lundy owns. Now if the public found out that the character began as an insane ploy to fool his ex-wife, it may have caused problems. But by this point, Miranda and Daniel have reached an understanding and were on good terms. She would have been pleased her children's father had finally developed some responsibility and had a steady job. Miranda would have no desire to damage that by bringing up his disguise ploy.

** Interestingly enough, both programs the original poster mentioned featured CrossdressingVoices: Fred Rogers voiced Lady Elaine Fairchilde on ''Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood'', while Shari Lewis performed both Charlie Horse and Hush Puppy on ''Lamb Chop's Play-Along.'' Granted, they were doing voice work and not full performances, but a children's television producer could easily argue that Daniel's role as Mrs. Doubtfire was just a further extension of a trend that was already happening in 90's kids' shows.

** There's another possibility based on Frank's lines after each disguise, like "I think we have to go to the next level--latex." It's possible that Daniel already knew that the end result would be the GrannyClassic look, but Frank and Jack weren't sure exactly what materials and styling they would need to create it--would he be able to pass himself off with just makeup, a single prosthetic, or, as they eventually determining, an entire mask including fake teeth? Each new look is Frank and Jack testing one of those methods out and realizing that it won't work, and Daniel simply has some fun pretending to be a character while they do it.
