Is there a way to avoid the $75 fee for AA mileage tickets within 21 days??

re 5 days:  Is that for a paid ticket also?

No

BA has better cancellation policy and changes would be negligible, but ...

WTH are you spewing?! Why on earth would think you have a "better change policy" and "negligible change fees" on a PAID AA ticket booked via BA?!

[Moishebatchy]

No

👆 🚨 בוּלש*ִט אלעֶרט 🚨

Paid tickets originating in the USA can be held via AA.com.

Obviously there are exceptions, such as within 7 days, etc.

Please correct me if my information is wrong for a domestic ticket:

AA charges $200 for ticket cancellation, free date changes, $150 other changes
BA charges $55 for ticket cancellation, taxes for any change (if less than $55)

To cancel a $50 paid ticket will cost me $55 on BA compared to $200 on AA (so I'd 'no show' it)
To change date of said ticket will be free on AA and a few dollars on BA
To change flight time of said ticket will cost me $150 on AA and a few dollars on BA

Based on this, I concluded that it is better to buy on BA in case of any changes.
I am holding it on AA in the meantime until I understand the system.

Cancelation policy for paid tickets isn't the same as award tickets.

I've done my due diligence by getting what I could from the CSRs and being on hold for an hour for AA and 20 min for BA.  Could you please be a bit more forthcoming this time (if you know the info)?  TIA
