If the need is to lower the rear sight,
why would one deliberately hold high on the rear sight?
Why wouldn't one simply hold the top of the front sight with the bottom of the notch,
and then file the notch deeper if the need to hold even lower was apparent?

Sure, I suppose one could do that, and it would work a little better than just holding under on the target. But it's kind of a backwards way to do it. When one speaks of adjusting sights to shoot to point of aim, he is usually referring to adjusting the sights to shoot to point of aim
while using a proper sight picture. That means that the top of the front sight is held flush to the top of the rear sight. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

I have read that the reason that Colts shoot high at 25 yards is that they were designed by Colt to be accurate at 75 yards

I thought I had read 50 yards, but since I can't remember where I read it, you may be correct. 75 yards does seem like an odd number though.
