that's just bluffing.
In general, making a bet or raise that only gets called by better is very -EV
bluffs only get called by better (usually).
The point here is that when you have a hand that can win at showdown, turning it into a bluff is often a waste. If hero had air here, raising the flop would be better than calling, and better than raising with a hand that will fold to a shove and often win at showdown.
The concept of "picking up dead money" is usually misunderstood and misapplied. It usually refers to making villain fold out their equity share in the pot, even though we may often have the best hand, like when we have A9 on a low board vs a range that has a lot of broadways
