Is there any reason why I'm wrong and could someone provide more accurate stats or late game data?

Yes, there are many reasons. First off, you're ignoring the +dam contributions of other powers. */SD, DM/*, Claws/*, and DB/* are all capable of achieving significantly better +dam than Kat/regen is capable of putting out. Sure, it has decent DPA (though not the highest at all), but it's not going to be the top ST dps in the least. If you want some evidence, check this thread and this thread. Scrapper Katana is below Dark and Dual Blades on both lists.
Ahh, thank you. I knew I couldn't be completely right

SD is by far the best secondary for raw damage because of AAO. For primaries DM is probably the best because of Soul Drain, but Katana and Broadsword can use multiple Resistance debuff IOs and Claws can also use one in Slash which can really increase DPS. The post he links doesn't take that IO into account.
I'm not familiar with DB though. I *think* the Defense Debuff is at the end of a combo? I am not sure if it can slot the Defense Debuff IO.

Ablating Strike can slot an Achilles' Heel, yes.

I was looking at all of the stats for scrapper primaries. Katana seemed to generally have the highest DPA and lowest recharge times with claws coming in as a close second. And with the massive +recovery from regen allowing me to slot more +recharge, I think a Katana/Regen would be able to achieve the highest dps.
