1) You *do* need 25% equity on the flop to make raising correct in terms of EV.

Are you sure about this? Assuming I'm going to have to show down the best hand, I think raising with less than 25% equity can be +EV if it:
1) thins the field
2) allows me to extract more bets when I do make the best hand by a- disguising my hand and b- making the pot big enough to induce donks to call more bets on the turn drawing super slim and/or make crying calls on the river.
3) allows me to take a free card on the turn.
Obviously this raise didn't accomplish (1) or (3), and probably not (2a) either, given the opposition.
You wouldn't suggest that you need 50% equity to bet the flop in position HU, why is this any different?
