Increasing flow often increases the number of cars on the road, particularly with dynamic routing apps, so the first assumption is invalid.

No problem, so what is your argument for utilizing a whole lane for a mode of transportation that consumes a significant public resource without providing much benefit?

100% agreed.

Car lanes in the city consume a significant public resource (space) and encourage negative externalities (noise, heat, air pollution, etc.). They should absolutely be replaced with more space efficient options: tram tracks & bike lanes.
