Isn't the whole purpose of registered mail to have
securely delivered and if not to have it traced?

No, this is a common misconception.

It is primarily about proving that the sending/receiving occurred, not about
guaranteeing delivery, and certainly not about finding out where it went.

What you got is proof that the recipient really didn't get your money. If it
was not registered, then the recipient could have received the money and told
you that it hadn't arrived. Similarly, the recipient might be wondering if you
really sent the money, but by using registered mail, you have proof that you
did.

Actually, all one has is proof of sending something.
