But the whole point of the Rashi is that "ba'ah" has two meanings, which
differ only in where the emphasis is placed. It is not about "haba", nor
does it rule out the existence of the other meaning of "ba'ah" -- just
that it's misplaced here.

The SR's point was buttressed by the timing of the declaration, 10 days
after Rosh haShanah and 15 days after R"Ch Nissan, the Rosh haShanah
leRegalim. Given that it is said when there was a "year that [just]
came", it makes more sense to emphasize the word as "haBA'ah", rather
than "haba'AH" and speaking of the subsequent year (even if we mean
that mei'eis le'eis).

There is no such ambiguity WRT "ad Yom haKippurim haba"

Tir'u baTov!
