Do I need a Transit visa at Dublin Airport if my transit is through the same terminal of the airport?
I hold a Canadian visa on an Indian passport.
From India I will be arriving at Dublin on Ethiopian Airlines and after a 3 hrs 40 mins layover will catch WestJet Airlines to Canada from the same terminal at which I will have arrived at Dublin Airport. According to the airlines I will have to collect and recheck the baggage at Dublin Airport.

You will not need a transit visa for your layover at DUB; a relevant link is posted in the accepted answer to Do I need an airport transit visa for Dublin, Ireland?

I checked the link. I have also asked Dublin Airport infodesk through email. But they are saying as I will have to collect the bag and recheck it, I will have to cross into their boarder and clear customs. So they are suggesting that I will need a transit visa. So what's the point of waiving the transit visa requirement of Indian citizens as per the their Naturalization and Immigration Website?

Collecting bagage is normally after immigration control, but before customs. Looking at the INIS site only if you stay airside you do not need a visa. Collecting bagage implies you have to go through immigration so you would need a short stay visa.
Text from the INIS site:
When you arrive in Ireland, you will remain 'airside' of the border while you wait for your connecting flight.
You must apply for a short stay Visit Visa if you want to pass through border control, eg if you are transiting overnight and want to stay in a hotel.
If you do not have a short stay Visit Visa, you will not be allowed to pass through border control.
I find it odd that you wil have to claim your bagage at Dublin, must be a reason for that. This may be true if you booked this journey as two separate journeys. In that cases they can not check you through.
What in that case defines "transfer" mentioned in here? If you do not pass the border control you do not need a visa anyway, neither short stay nor transfer. So what's the airport-related use case for these "transfer" visas?

I awarded bounty here because, even though the controversy I see about transit Irish visa is still unresolved, this answer makes it most clear that you need a Short Stay one if you want to pass the border control.

As stated in Timatic, the database used by airlines:
TWOV (Transit Without Visa):
- Holders of onward tickets for a max. transit time of 24 hours.
Not applicable to nationals of Afghanistan, Albania, Congo
(Dem. Rep.), Cuba, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Georgia, Ghana, Iran,
Iraq, Lebanon, Moldova (Rep.), Nigeria, Somalia, Sri Lanka,
Ukraine and Zimbabwe.
So far it looks good, but the defintion of TWOV is:
Passing through an international
transit area of the airport in order to board a connecting (or
to proceed by the same) flight, without entering the country
(i.e. clearing immigration).
So unfortunately, you do need a transit visa
