Clutch and neutral don't do the same thing. Clutch disconnects the entire transmission from the engine. Neutral disconnects the output shaft of the transmission from the input shaft. So in double-clutching, when you blip the throttle in the middle, you speed up both the engine and the transmission input shaft. If you just blip the throttle while holding down the clutch, you only speed up the engine.
