No contradiction, but it is a bit subtle. The flight path in the first 200 feet, which is what the 29.67 refers to is done at best angle of climb, which is why the rate of climb is lower for this part (up to 200' above takeoff surface) than the second part at 1,000' above takeoff surface.
The inference is that in the first 200 feet of the climb, you'll be too busy to raise the gear anyway.
Actually retracting the landing at these sort of speeds often makes precious little difference to the rate of climb, as the drag due to gear and doors is quite small at these airspeeds.
Hope that cleared it up.
