Optimum climb speed is not the best rate of climb speed my dear Scuby

To minimize time to climb you wan to fly the PsMax profile which is so close to Mach 0.90 at all altitudes that just do that. Put it in MAX AB, pitch down if you are slower than Mach 0.9, and pitch up if you are faster. There’s no faster way.
