There comes a time when you have to realize that you are simply not going anywhere within an organization.
I can understand a few times, but the OP has been declined for an internal position seven times, for a variety of reasons including salary and answers being too vague.
Trust me, if another department/group really wanted you, you'd have been hired for those spots already.
In a previous company, I applied to multiple other departments because I wanted out of my department. And I got turned down every single time, and they already had someone else in mind to hire. After the fourth such denial, I knew what time it was, that I was forever stuck, and that I would never get an opportunity to transfer internally. So I did what I should have done before, look outside for another job.
You can either be proactive in looking outside the company if you truly want to advance or learn something else, or keep subjecting yourself to the games these people play, stringing along applicants event though they never have any intentions of hiring you.
I work for a large company. Over a two year period, I applied for over 140 jobs and had about 30 interviews. I eventually landed a new internal position. I say look for both internal and external jobs.
So currently interviewing for internal roles for my professional development in my same company. I've had about 7 interviews. A couple of them, I was declined due to my current salary being too high(out of range).
Don't managers have access to salary info from company records for internal applicants? I applied for an internal position for a sideways move to get away from another manager. HR told me it was the same pay. The hiring manager said the same thing.

It really is pathetic that being able to come up with appropritate responses to off the wall behavioral questions determines if you will be hired.
I work in a technical field, and I'd say that 90% of the interviews have had very little if anything to do with the job itself.
If I own a business, I want people who are good at the job, not people who are good at answering irrelevant interview questions.
What do you consider irrelevant questions? Things like, "How would you handle solving a problem like this?". Or "What steps have you taken to ensure you were able to meet a tight deadline?". Are those the irrelevant questions you are referring to?
And you feel compelled to answer, why, exactly? If they asked for your weight, you'd just have to tell them, because they asked?
It would be pretty crazy, if payroll and HR didn't know the salary of their own employees.
