I am wondering if it is a good idea to say outright that you want to maximize your income, and disclosing previous salary works counter to that goal. At the end of the day there's nothing surprising about such statement.

I think it's fine to politely say something like "I'd prefer not to share that information at this point in the process".
everyone understands that the applicant wants to maximize their salary, but HR folks are humans too. if you say something they perceive as rude, they will probably make a choice that's suboptimal for you and the company.
