You're pretty wrong on all of those points. Take bodybuilders for example. Most bodybuilders track number of reps daily because if they're not progressively overloading, they're not making progress. It also tells them when to take a deload week.
Track your meals for a week or two and you'll see the actual calories and macros are pretty far from what you might think in your mind. When you're doing a lean bulk and shooting for a +250 calorie surplus, how in the world are you supposed to actually know you're around a +250 calorie surplus without tracking? It would be almost impossible to know your actually TDEE without counting calories for a few weeks or months.
