I don't think your suggested tweaking actually accomplishes what the
query asked. It merely moves the axes origin to the rear, left, bottom
corner of the plotted surface. Thus it accomplishes the purpose only if
the entire surface is in the first octant. You can see this most
clearly if you change the x- and y- plot ranges to:
{x, -Pi, Pi}, {y, -2Pi, 2Pi}
The entire plotted surface is still in front of the xz- and yz- planes.
