No, you're not missing something. The OP seems to be non-English-first-
language and the question is poorly worded to a native speaker.

He's saying that emerge overwrites the previous installed version when
it rebuilds a package and he wants to keep it. The solution to that is
binpkgs.

You are talking about what happens to binpkg you already have, he is
asking how to get binpkgs in the first place
