But that's a virus that can cause cancer. You could theoretically get a cancer vaccine and still transmit HPV if you have it.

You can transmit it to those you have sex with. That's a pretty narrow means of transmission, and one that is already a vector for a variety of other diseases.

Hmm, what do you mean? Vaccines generally protect you from the disease more than they protect unvaccinated others from you transmitting it.
