Kurtosis does not measure peakedness. You can have infinitely peaked distributions with very low kurtosis, and you can have low, perfectly flat-topped distributions with very high kurtosis. Examples are given on the current Wikipedia page, right next to the graphs that you discussed. Kurtosis measures tail weight only.
