You compare costs of custom vs generic plans.
I suggest: do not compare costs *at all*.

It is not.
My suggestion is: build a generic plan (that is the plan that will
return proper result for every possible bind value), yet refer to the
values of 6th binds when estimating cardinalitites.
Is it clear now?
