Once I am in the peak cardiac zone, do higher heart rates in that zone give me more “credit” with respect to my cardio fitness score?

I’m reading your question a little different from @t.parker.  Your cardio fitness score is Fitbit’s estimate of your VO2max.  Fitbit’s algorithm is proprietary, but the way I interpret the Help article, your cardio fitness score will improve when you’re doing steady state activity at a slower heart rate, not a faster one.
