Why do the ideal weight and the healthy range give different answers?

They are two different models. The range 57.3 kg - 77.4 kg is the BMI band 18.5-24.9 applied to 176 cm, while the ideal weight 71.4 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 23.04. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
