The reason for this fingering is that it lets you transition smoothly from altissimo C#,D to E, and stay in tune :) You can't use RH Eb because you should be fingering RH C for both C# and D with your RH pinkie.

When pressing both keys at the same time, remember that LH Eb needs to go down all the way, whereas the Ab/G# key need only be touched lightly. While not strictly necessary for the altissimo fingering, this double-pinkie fingering is very useful for fast passages with lots of sharps or flats - B major, Db major. You just keep the pinkie pressed down tight and run up and down the scale. Try it!
