Why do you think \usebodyfont can be used to change the font size in 
your document, is this mentioned in a manual?

IIRC \usebodyfont can be used to preload a typeface at the begin of a 
document which make switching to it later in the document with 
\switchtobodyfont or \setupbodyfont faster but this also means settings 
like the font size have no effect. The reference manual shows "inherits 
from XXX" in such a case because a) it is true that the command inherits 
its values from another command b) it’s faster to document (can be 
changed but one has to check which arguments are valid).
