I was thinking exactly the same when I was always walking this looong “ATM mile”…(Good thing is that you have enough time to think about it thouroughly :-) .
The only understandable reason I found is that this location was enforced by the owners of the “Exchange counters” that are better placed in the middle of the building. So all foreigners passing customs give up the search for ATM machine and rather exchange their money at the counter :)

You’re absolutely right: the placement of the ATMs in Terminal 2 is totally baffling. I didn’t even notice them the first 2-3 times I fly into the new terminal.

What you don’t mention is that the cash machines in Terminal 1 have always been conveniently located just outside the baggage claim exit. So the solution is obvious: if you absolutely, positively have to fly to a Schengen country, just change planes in London.
