Am I correct that books that were in older formats, were in fact available for Download and Transfer, since I'm pretty sure some of these books worked fine with the old Kindle for PC, but those published with newer KFX format are the ones that will not work for Calibre import, no matter what ?
It's explained in the linked thread. Books published after January 4 of this year can't be downloaded with older K4PC versions. Earlier ones should still work except for the books only available as KFX (mostly textbooks and some Indian-language stuff).

You shouldn't be removing DRM from Kindle Unlimited books or importing them into your Calibre library*. It's a loan, and authors are paid per page read. This cannot be tracked if you take it outside the ecosystem and thus the authors are not fairly compensated.

* except for stub entries without the book files. I do this for overdrive loans to track reading history.
