Chaz, you're not considering Imlad Morgul. You could go through there and head directly east, but that would be too troublesome, not to forget the corruption in Imlad Morgul, and the unknown state of Shelob. Now, go north to the Black Gate, you can see that to go through Mordor would be going south again. From the gate, you could simply go east to the reds, and it would be much quicker that going through Mordor again (assuming you use the entrance of the Black Gate).
