I agree

When I look at the position e5 seems to me better than other moves
because if white escapes with the bishop black can play f6 and develop the king.
Later when I continue to think I see that black can develop the king also after
e5 by means of Kh7 and Kg6.

Another possible idea of e5 is to contine h4, Rh1, hxg5 and Rh8# but black can
prevent it.

My program prefers Bd4 with score of +0.4 for white
at depth 12

After 1.e5 my program says +0.33/12,+0.34/13 for white and suggests Be6
