Much of this I don't disagree with, but replacing human labor with machines is only bad in the short, capitalistic, term. In the long run, humans will benefit greatly from not having to work to survive, while still being able to work to find purpose/meaning if they want - a benefit that must vastly outweigh the short term harms of unemployment in a capitalist world.
I can't say I disagree with you in the abstract either, but our society as it is currently arranged is solely concerned with those short-term capitalistic goals.
The benefits of labor-saving technology are not distributed evenly, so long-term consideration should be given to how the technology will exacerbate the already-precipitous economic inequity between people who work for a living and those who collect rents on the Capital they own.
