Or maybe he thought all the Castro’s would be dead and gone and their government fallen. I could see a scenario where Castro was behind this. Because Russia was complicit, the US didn’t want to look weak by not responding in the face of an overt act of war.
A bunch of confusion and blaming civil rights gobbledegook was the perfect excuse for doing nothing in response to Cuba’s actions...which could have kicked off an even bigger war with Russia.
That’s just my personal theory.

I agree with you. I think that the files will not show any pertinent details of the assassination. Instead, a careful reading of these files will show the coverup activity.
The people managing the investigation believed that the evidence would point back to either Castro or Russia. The SWAMP of that era did not want either of these results. Thus, they probably stymied the investigation itself in order to guarantee that no evidence would be found.
There had to be "no evidence found" since they could not depend on a fully compliant FBI to suppress uncovered information.
The papers being released will, at best, show the efforts expended to suppress information and dry up leads without proper follow up. An analysis today of those papers is going to be pretty dry and is not likely to result in anything which can be turned into a good movie.
We may never know what a proper investigation would have revealed. We may only be able to ascertain what scared the handlers at the time and they were probably only guessing.
