Obviously. And the risk of crew member incapacitation is even higher with three pilots.. or four.. or five..

You're the one who brought risk managment into this. In most short haul commercial aviation risk is managed partly by putting two pilots up front.
You say two pilots above 60 years don't share the same cockpit because of risk managment, so the risk must be higher with two older pilots vs two "younger" pilots in the cockpit?
Two vs two, I'm not talking about a Russian 7 crew cockpit here.

My question is still; Why don't they allow two over 60 pilots in the same cockpit? On one hand, they are fit to fly, on the other, they are not fit to fly together.

It doesn't make sense, either you are fit to fly, or you are not.
