Does this mean my car / SUV / minivan / pickup is only designed to protect my family at up to 40 mph?
In a head-on collision, yes.

If crashes are this much more dangerous above 40 or 43 mph, then why do we have speed limits at 55, 65, or 75 mph?

That's a great question. A basic answer is because our society (as well as virtually every other around the world) prioritizes speed over safety when it comes to auto travel.
