NOTE: The above applies only to relatively new websites. If your website is high on the Alexa ranking, by all means compete with the big-timers, LOL.

I appreciate your post and agree with the explained functions of keywords. I think it's up to the online business owners or SEO experts to choose one of the followings:
- To be a rich man in a small town, OR
- To be a rich man in a big city!
My point is why should an SEO effort target keywords with low KEI to be found more easily and end up unwillingly in a niche just be found in some far-off result page?
The other option is to target a desirable, but realistic niche with better strategies to be found where the website goal is. I agree that this could take more time and concentrated efforts, but if this is the approach to SEO, the website owner or SEO expert selects the target (niche) and attempts to get the website there.
Although it's challenging and hard, but this is what an SEO is supposed to cause to happen. What do you think?
