It's in one of the links. I just followed up on Adam Crisps reply that he thought that neighbor command would do the same with EIGRP as with RIP
Q. What does the neighbor statement in the EIGRP configuration section do?
A. Although the neighbor command is accepted by the Cisco IOSB. parser, it should not be used. The neighbor statement does not behave as intended and can have a negative effect on EIGRP neighbors. To follow the bug ID link below and see detailed bug information, you must be a registered user and you must be logged in.
See CSCdv19648 for more information.
I guess this still does not fully answer the question, but it's now obvious it shouldn't be used.... I guess it's obsolete. I do not know what the "intended" purpose was, apart from the same function it has in RIP.... Does anybody know about any other "intented" purpose?
Regards,
Geralt

Everything you wrote is 110% correct but you did not answer the question "
When to use the neighbor command in EIGRP".

RIP: with passive interface you block the SENDING of broadcast route
updates. The router still receives them though. With the neighbor command
you can unicast routing updates to specific routers.
EIGRP: with passive interface you block the RECEIVING AND SENDING of route
updates. It prevents the sending of hello packets. Because no hello packets
are received by a neighbor, there will be no neighbor relationship
established, therefor no routing updates will be exchanged. The neighbor
command will not work in this case and it should not be used. To be able to
do the same as with RIP when you use "passive-interface" and "neighbor",
you should use "distribute-list" with EIGRP. Please someone correct me if
I'm wrong.... Check this at:

with RIP, you can use "passive interface" to block
broadcast/multicast, and
use the neighbous command to unicast.
I assume the same is true of EIGRP.

If passive interface was specified, RIP and EIGRP will not
send any
routing updates via the passive interface, even neighbor
command used
