All redirecting activity is valid only before the associated calls are
answered.  After the calls are answered, it is connected-line updates.
The redirecting interception macros are invoked before the outgoing call is
answered when the outgoing call is redirected by an entity further down
the line.  If your Asterisk server is redirecting the call, the REDIRECTING
information is updated by normal dialplan activity before placing the next
outgoing call to the redirected to party.

Transfers generate connected line update events automatically.  The connected
line interception macros give you a chance to alter the connected line
information as it is passed between the connected endpoints of the bridge.

This is the purpose of the interception macros.
