your equity is only 8% of the current pot

Preflop isn't about equity.

Well, let's think about it. If raising 5 limpers is profitable, that means I want to put as many bets as I can as long as all 5 limpers call, right? So, I put 16% of the total money that is going in and will have to fold around 90% of the time on the flop. Please, explain why raise with 88 is profitable here.

Sometimes you get a free shot at a turn card to make a set in a 7bb pot.
