I don’t understand why he couldn’t also just play the version of his character that actually appears in the movie.

Maybe he wasn't in the right shape to do the things the replacement was doing. I honestly don't know since I can't remember much of what the replacement did! But I do vaguely remember a repeat of the training scene.

Which was wholly unnecessary. Especially considering a lot of Keanu's fight was pushing energy at people.
