The 744 can land at max to weight.

Boeing doesn't think so.

I already covered that. The 747 is capable of landing at max TO weight, you just aren’t supposed to do it unless necessary.

It would be an overweight landing, which is acceptable in an emergency.

All passenger airliners are capable of taking off, having an immediate dire emergency, and turning right around and landing overweight.
