You seem to be wanting to pick the torque produced by the engine at
peak BHP in one gear and compare it to the torque produced in another

But that is precisely what one does when changing up through the gears.
Go up to max power and beyond and then change to the next gear - which
will give you more input torque but less output torque.

Which as precisely nothing to do with the original point. Which was at
which point on an engine's rev range you get the best acceleration.
