Although Kirk, Spock and Bones never were officially flower powered, their ideals and V-necked uniforms spoke of being loose, being free and bringing love to all the universe. Right on. Groovy. Meyer's real trick was to remind everybody this is a military vessel and certain protocol was expected on a military vessel, stuff that would have had the TV Enterprise drydocked for good if the Admiral got wind of it. "Green skinned women? Furballs? Picking up passengers unguarded? This is a spaceship, not a whorehouse!" It does, to a degree.

And you are absolutely correct that the Khan is more concerned with being a good SciFi romp rather than Star Trek "on the big screen".
