I know that optimizing things on the CPU end is nearly impossible, but I would like to ask if it is possible to make the graphics easier on the GPU because it runs slower when there is more geometry detail, but runs perfectly without much geometry and geometry is handled by the GPU, not the CPU if I am not wrong.

Where did you get that idea from?

Probably. The doesn't mean you should expect your HD 4000 to be sufficient for every game though. Accurate GPU emulation is very demanding and your IGP is very slow compared to even outdated discrete GPUs.
Straight from our graphics dev. who I just asked:

So there is hope. Just don't expect a miracle.

Which is normal. More geometry = more work.

Primitive setup is handled on the cpu side. Transformation and everything else are handled on the gpu side.

True. And this usually needs much more time on cpu than the gpu for rasterization, even on intel gpus (for low IR).
