You make many assumptions.

That's not a very convincing counterargument if you don't say what assumptions you think I'm making.
Google is quite capable of detecting and ignoring chaff, and they wouldn't be giving away free space if they couldn't afford to host a small number of people doing stuff like you're doing.
Further, if you think that behavior doesn't contain any data about you, you're wrong. They can extrapolate from that behavior that you're interested in privacy and have some technical understanding of the problems with corporate surveillance. You've almost certainly received targeted ads for computer products, particularly stuff like Lenovo or Yubikeys, which are popular in security-conscious crowds. You may have ad-blocked these ads, but you've probably been tracked anyway, even if you used something to block trackers.
Right now you're totally ineffectual. If you want to actually do something, you should write your senators and stop using Google products entirely.
