I am shocked by the Church’s complicity in whitewashing Kennedy and attempting to include BO in the process. If, indeed, such letters were written at all, why weren’t they kept private?

I believe the vatican’s response to Kennedy's letter was a private one, but that McCarrick, a Kennedy sycophant, deliberately broadcast it by reading it an ostensibly “private” funeral service.

How to you think the Church "whitewashed" Kennedy?

I don't, unless Kennedy sought forgiveness through the Sacrament of Reconciliation and/or the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.
