There have been khajiit-mer crossbreeds but there has yet to observed a Khajiit-man crossbreed. It is also a consensus on almost every wiki/forum that Khajiit cannot have children with human races. That in no way constitutes proof. The absence of proof doesn't constitute proof. That my dear sir works for both our arguments, but in the absence of proof one can only make the simplest assumptions. There is no records of a khajiit/men hybrid so all we can assume is that for all we know they can't interbreed. We know about khajiit/mer crossbreeds and the khajiit are believed to be moon changed mer, so we know they can interbreed.

This same kind of reasoning has been used in other topics on the wiki. Like the presence of non-Nords in the Stormcloaks, we can clearly see redguards going to join but we don't see them in the faction. As such we cannot assume that redguards are a part of the Stormcloaks.

Same thing with the khajiit. We know they sometimes marry the races of men, but there is yet to be proof of a successful crossbreed between those two races. As such we cannot assume that they can interbreed for a lack of evidence.

And before you point to that book once again let me point out that book is not the holy grail of TESU reproduction. That book has more wholes in it than Swiss cheese, it is basically an unfinished book. For example the author was unaware if Orcs could or not reproduced with humans, that has been observed in Oblivion, so we know it's possible.
