The WIP commits I initially recorded also don't necessarily existed as such in my file system and often don't really work completely, so I don't know why the commit after a rebase is any more a lie then the commit before the rebase.

It's a 'lie' in the sense that you are optimising for telling a convenient and easy to understand story for the reviewer where each commit works atomically.
