I am saying that the only way LSD will improve straightline performance is adding traction with acceleration.

In a car which does not have an LSD, there is only ever one wheel getting the majority of the power to turn the wheel. This means that it is easy to lose traction if there is a lot of power getting put through eg: a straightline drag, you might spin your wheels a lot at the start and/or spin your wheels while changing gears.
In a car fitted with an LSD, the power is reletively distributed evenly between the two (or four) wheels. This means that in a straight line or a drag there will be less wheel spin because its more difficult for a car to spin both wheels at once rather than only spinning one.
