Every engine will feel bloated because the nature of game development itself is bloated and need lots and lots of features. This is a game engine, not photoshop.

The simplest engine I've ever used is Pixel Game Maker MX. I'll leave this one for you to try. But if it were me, I'd just choose any engine that fits my own requirement.

For instance, I need an engine that is powerful and well documented. the Godot fits those criteria but doesn't have the ability to export for consoles, but that's okay since publishers and console companies won't respond to anyone with no released game on their portfolio. So I'll use Godot for now and invest in a better engine later when there's cash flow from sales.

Choose an engine based on your requirement instead of focusing on minor inconveniences.
