" In 0.05 no currents at all at the *feed point" means, of
course, that the current is very very small.

However small it is, it is still the greatest current value that
exists on that dipole.

No such oddity in the reality.

No matter how short a dipole antenna is in wavelengths, current is
always zero at the ends of each arm of that dipole.

The current distribution on a thin, wire dipole takes the form of a
sine wave. If the antenna is short, as in this case, then the only
part of the sine that can exist is nearly linear. Hence the
~triangular shape for the total current on the dipole.

Confirm this for yourself using Figure 2-2(b) on page 2-4 of the
following link.
