Well, yeah, the original intent was to have a budding romance between Hunk and Dorothy back in Kansas, which was reflected in Oz by a strong bond. But since they scrapped that subplot, thus, it has no bearing on the final product. Remember, screenplays go through many rewrites/revisions. Think of alternate/proposed scenes as rough drafts, with the finished product as the final draft. In the end, it's the finished movie that matters. So, keeping that in mind, just judging the final result, I have to agree with

and

that Dorothy was going to miss Scarecrow the most because she'd known him the longest.

Really? I have NEVER heard this before, but I guess I can see it being true.
I always did think it odd that the three farmhands are very prominent in her dream, where there's no Oz counterparts to Uncle Henry and Auntie Em. -

I have heard about the original Hunk/Dorothy romance before. I think that, originally, they intended to have Hunk be a bit younger than he was in the final film (the character was originally prepping for college,) and Dorothy be a bit older (maybe closer to Judy Garland's own age.)

Why does Dorothy say she will miss him most?
I always believed it was because he took a leadership role and did most of the thinking for the group in spite of not having a brain!
He was more like an adult someone Dorothy could look up to while Tin Man was always crying and Lion was always nervous and scared. Those two needed more support than they gave. -

He was the one that she was closest to the most out of all 4 of them, plus she was the first one out of the trio that she met on her journey to get the Wizard of Oz to help her get back to Kansas.

I also find that moment awkward to watch. Lion and Tin Man were right there, and they couldn't help it that they weren't the first ones that she met.
I think it was supposed to be a "stage whisper." That is, the character speaks so that the audience can hear but
those others present are supposed to be out of hearing range

Suspension of disbelief. -

You have to look at this logically:
- If Scarecrow weren't made of hay, the Witch wouldn't have lit him on fire.
- If the Witch didn't light Scarecrow on fire, Dorothy wouldn't have flung the bucket of water on him.
- If Dorothy didn't fling the bucket of water, none of it would've inadvertently splashed onto the Witch.
- If water hadn't splashed on the Witch, she never would have melted.
- If the Witch hadn't melted, Dorothy would not have obtained the broomstick.
- If Dorothy had not obtained the broomstick, she would have nothing to offer the Wizard in order to get back home.
In summary, at that point in the story, Scarecrow helped Dorothy achieve her goal. Therefore, she would miss him the most.
It's all cause and effect.
It must be hell inside your head.
