I see what you mean, I think I took your data and plotted torque between 3K and 8K revs in each gear graph. Torque is on the y axis and speed is on the x axis. See pic...
Now I've confused myself.
Reading off the speeds at where torque in the lower gear is exceeded by torque in the higher gear does this, contrary to my earlier statement, prove that you don't have to change gear at the limiter for max acceleration? If not what the hell have I done?
The crossovers occur at the following speeds and revs 43mph (7,489rpm), 66mph (7,135rpm), 89mph (6,980rpm), 122mph (7,507rpm), 139mph (6,950rpm)
