Default Kite flying

Section 4 clearly says no kite flying within 5 miles. The 500' limitation

It does not say that at all - you dropped paragraph (b) which gives
exceptions to that rule. When reading the FARs, you have to read the
WHOLE paragraph, not just bits of it - or you'll get the wrong idea.

It's not uncommon that private pilot candidates get busted on the
checkride for forgetting to read the WHOLE paragraph, so you're not
alone in doing this.
