The purpose is to list new words not listed in TKD.

And Okrand said wI'qIy is not a Klingon word.

I'm not getting your point. *Qugh* is in TKD, along whith a handful of
names (including *matlh*) that all do not appear in the word list.

Right. They appear in the grammatical sketch, so we know they're correct and canonical, but for some reason some proper nouns were left out of the word list. Why? What logic puts tera' Earth in the word list but not Qugh Kruge? What logic has the KLI put matlh Maltz in its new words list but not Qugh?

Still I think it's wrong to omit a word. As you said correctly, "Okrand
said it's just a Klingon pronunciation of a Federation thing that
Klingons use from time to time." -- So we should archive that
information instead of throwing it aways just because it's not aKlingon
thing we talk about. This discussion leads back to 'epIl naH, which is
exactly the same, but we do not trow that away, do we?

We should not throw away discussion about whether it's appropriate to include it. It is not obvious to me that the KLI's word list performs the same function as TKD's word list.
