I personally find that idea objectionable.  gnuplot is a plotting program,
so the data points should be considered sacrosanct.  Nothing should be
allowed to hide a data point, except maybe another data point.

Your best bet may be the 'below' option for 'set key', which will move the
entire key box to an area where the data points won't go.
