Your Kobo device needs .kepub.epub to trigger using the ACCESS renderer for a sideloaded ebook. .kepub is not a recognized extension. This will also keep Dropbox happy.

Sadly I've no mind for the code you posted, I'm aware those are words and could possibly puzzle out what they do. But making the leap from that to how to get calibre to spit out .kepub.epub is beyond me. I have looked at the configuration options for Kobo Output (none), Kobo extended touch (none which seem to apply to the file extension), and Kobo Utilities (none which apply to the extension).
You could use Send to Disk and then rename the files from .epub to .kepub.epub. I haven't done this in years but I seem to remember the bulk rename on a Mac allowing me to add text to a filename.
