I see. Clearly, then, Data Transfer is meant to be used rarely or in limited
circumstances, and that use does not overlap at all with the use of
Special:RunQuery. Special:RunQuery can be used when it is not known in advance
what pages need to be created. It can determine if the page already exists, and
any other facts, so that a human decision can be made before proceeding with
auto-creation.

Will you reconsider your decision to close this as WONTFIX in favor of Data
Transfer?

If so, then LocalSettings.php parameters can be used to allow auto-creation of
red links, and set group permissions for that capability. If it is disabled by
default, then the wiki administrators can enable it once they are aware of the
feature, and the measures needed to avoid its pitfalls.
