inittab is not used with systemd which is what RHEL 7 uses
you would want to do (as root) systemctl set-default multi-user.target
reboot and it will go to a console and not kde
to switch back, just do systemctl set-default graphical.target and reboot
the files in those folders are for startup items for the different systemd targets (previously known as runlevels)

this should explain it better:

thanks guys
so more on the relationship between systems and initd
Although the systemd process replaces the init process (quite literally, /sbin/init is now a symbolic link to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd) for starting services at boot time and changing runlevels, systemd provides much more control than the init process does while still supporting existing init scripts

It is actually second attempt on parallelized init, previous in RHEL6 (and ubuntu 12) was upstart, and it already did kickass to track startup dependencies and try to prime up startup scripts in parallel...
Red hat 7 should be 1/7th of all versions covered if we count using fingers, the inittab solution works for all versions before v7, so it is technically valid until the point asker admitted using RHEL7...
the /etc/inittab on CentOS7 explains the difference:
# inittab is no longer used when using systemd.
# ADDING CONFIGURATION HERE WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON YOUR SYSTEM.
# Ctrl-Alt-Delete is handled by /usr/lib/systemd/system/ct
# systemd uses 'targets' instead of runlevels. By default, there are two main targets:
# multi-user.target: analogous to runlevel 3
# graphical.target: analogous to runlevel 5
# To view current default target, run:
# systemctl get-default
# To set a default target, run:
# systemctl set-default TARGET.target

Change default runlevel to 3
This line, usually at the bottom, change the 5 (boot to X) to a 3 (multiuser mode)
From
id:5:initdefault:
To
id:3:initdefault:
