I think this position is illegal if it's white to move.
I couldn't see any reason to think it would be illegal.
If black just moved and it was white's turn in the position
Right. My proof game ended in that position with White to move. It's a legal position that can be reached with either White or Black to move, whichever you want.
prove that it could be reached when it's white to move in the position
That's what I already did. The last move of my proof game was 42. hxg5 f5. Black made the last move and the position is reached with White to move. I don't know how to make it any simpler than that.

Right after I said that I realized that it is legal

Explain why this checkmate is illegal.
That one's a little too easy. The man giving check has to have a legal way to be where it is.

Look at #4788 again and tell me what you see.

Legal
Could you verify that with a proof game?

nah, just kidding.
how will the king get there?
There can only be 1 light squared bishop and 1 dark squared bishop.
Pawns cannot go to the 1st and 8th ranks.
Kings cannot be next to each other, because then they would put themselves and the other king in check.
