uniroot REQUIRES that the function be of opposite sign at each end of the starting interval.
I won't address the other issues raised, but you can use simple stepping from a starting argument until a sign change occurs. Or you could try a different type of rootfinder, such as newtonRaphson in package pracma. There's some discussion in the (still in draft) vignette https://gitlab.com/nashjc/histoRicalg/blob/master/provenance-of-rootfinding/rootfinder.pdf by Oliver Dechant and myself as part of an investigation of "older" codes.
