Racing Redouble

What still isn't clear to me is that when I do a keith count and the result is 5 (No Double/Take) that I have a close take for money (22.5%)

What did you mean to say? Keith Count 5 is a near double for money, not a close take, i.e., no double, easy take with the taker winning perhaps 34% of the time.

Approximately:

Keith count 2 -> take -> 78%% / 22%

Keith count >3 -> redouble -> 71% / 29%

Keith count >4 -> double -> 68%% / 32%

So, the question is not why the taker wins 27.8% cubeless instead of 22.5%, but why the taker wins only 27.8% instead of ~34% from the Keith count, or only 27.8% instead of about 33% in a 7.5-roll position. Because: with so many nonworking doublets, the underdog wins far less than often than in a 7-roll position.
