Are you ready doubting whether the US as whole are more diverse than any single European country?

Yes, that's a very US centric view. There are European countries, such as France and the Netherlands that have overseas territories and generally are quite diverse. Or Belgium with three official languages, where you can walk 10 km and suddenly most people speak another language.

The US as a whole might be more diverse than a single EU country, but it will depend a lot on your metric for diversity.

What's the point of comparing all US states to single European country? The same it doesn't make sense to compare all EU countries to single US state.
