I have to raise the flop to try to get overcards (like KJ) out of there.

Would´nt you actually raise and hope the KJ would call?

If a KJ see´s the flop for 2 sb and 3 people call, they will be paying 10:2 => 5:1 making their 6 outs unprofitable.

And since poker is a zero-sum game... blah blah.

In this hand, 5 people limped for 1 bet. No one raised. With your raise on the flop, overcards are getting 7:2 ($1 went to the rake).

Sure you could still be ahead if an overcard comes, but are you really going to be happy, and how are you going to play it with people left to act behind you? This is a pot you what to take down now or at least thin the field as much as possible. At the very least, I want to buy last position for the turn.
