Your clutch could be bad as well, a going pressure plate might allow the disc to grip just fine. But the pedal travel could be compromised.
But given that the Accord's clutch is self adjusting as it wears, I'd bleed the system again, and again if needed to be sure. Then look at replacing the clutch after you look at the slave cylinder as well.
