Don't you get more value out of your position by not raising?

No. You get more value by putting more money in the pot with the best hand. If you do this all the big pots will be played with your opponent in position.

The larger the pot, the less effect that 1 BB has on your EV as a percentage.

Using the logic, in HU holdem you should limp on the button w/ all the hands you intend to play. KJ KQ AK AQ. 66. Etc. Definitely not right.

Going back to the TOP, your opponent is probably making smaller mistakes in a big pot then in a small one. Of course, if he folds too much than you definitely want to enlarge the pot.

In a 1 BB pot difference the mistakes aren't all the different. Even if that is one advantage, it doesn't outweigh the fact that he's playing most pots in position for money. You have to be a lot better than him to overcome this.
Your type of thinking is going to hamper you bigtime in HU matches, even shorthanded. You usually want to keep the pot small w/ medium good hands OOP. That's what said in TOP, for the reasons you describe.
