His paralysis is entirely psychosomatic.
So when you say psychosomatic, you mean, like he could start a fire with his thoughts?

the proper terms are Abasiophilia, a fetish regards sex with a person wearing leg braces
or Devotism, attraction to one with disabilities.
I confess, guilty of both, she had polio 75 years ago and we are married 55 years and continuing. We traveled for 20 years in the Middle East and far east. I would do it all over again.

Sounds like she is someone with pretty high morals and very non superficial.

Why does he have to have sex? Even if he can’t have sex, if he’s still producing sperm he can procreate. Tons of people, handicapped or not, do IVF
Also you don’t need to have sex to pleasure a woman. Bet he’s a pro at having his face sat on

If she's happy and he treats her well, then dad should be happy for his daughter. Maybe just make sure she understands the full scope of how his limitations would affect daily life living together and when they eventually have kids. Make sure that young love isn't blinding her to the reality. But if he's a good enough dude that she doesn't mind the limitations, then good for both of them.

I had a very good friend in college who had polio as a child and was in a wheelchair. She was beautiful, funny, has a great personality, and is a joy to be with. I introduced her to one of my best friends, they started dating, got married, and have had a wonderful marriage for almost 40 years, with two beautiful (now adult) children. There have been major challenges, but it is a wonderful love story.
If a person falls in love with someone in a wheelchair, and if that person is a wonderful person, I can imagine why parents might be concerned with future challenges, but I cannot imagine why a loving parent would want to put a stop to the relationship.

Life is hard enough without being stupid (or virtuous). If it doesn't work out, she can always just be fair in the divorce.

So the daughter has gotten serious with a guy, who she is considering possibly marrying in the future, who hasn’t even met her dad yet?

First, in that situation, I would hope to have a reaction more similar to yours, and not the girl's father. I certainly would not say all the things he apparently said. I would have a serious discussion to make sure she realizes what she's embarking on, and then let her decide.
Now... with that said, as a father of a daughter myself, you want the best for her. You understand and can foresee the difficulty she will face for the rest of her life with such a man, especially if you and your family are accustomed to a very active lifestyle. You think of all the normal physical activities you know she'll likely miss out on. Without knowing the guy and what his professional outlook is, you also realize that many women struggle being the one leaving the house everyday to make a living, if the man doesn't do the same. Even under the circumstances, the resentment around that can build. You also realize feelings change, and you can't help but wonder if she'll tire out at some point in mid-life and go through an even harder time. Again, you want the best for your daughter and you can't help but wonder if that's what the life she's choosing will bring. But it is her choice and I would respect it if the guy checks out otherwise.
As for the daughter, and anyone who takes on that life, I have the utmost respect for them. I know a guy like the one described, and he has had a live-in girlfriend for many years. I admire such a person, and I'm grateful for people like that. As for the guy, he has his truck rigged for hand control to drive, and has the crane in the back for his wheel chair. He does more physical work than most able-bodied men these days. I've seen him back up to a gooseneck trailer, crane out his wheelchair, and go hook up the trailer and go. Lay under a vehicle or hang himself over the radiator and work on it. Cuts grass on a zero turn mower, and prior to the zero turn, had a regular lawn tractor self-rigged to operate by hand. Doesn't shy away from anything. I have a lot of admiration for him as well. And I think he is more the exception than the rule. So I do understand where the father is coming from, though I disagree with his handling of it. But we're not the ones in that situation either.

I knew a guy who just got married. Was in a wreck and paralyzed from waist down. His wife left him 6 months later, very sad.
