Agree to disagree, then.
Hydration is very overrated, unless you're engaged in strenuous activity or otherwise losing tons of water through sweat (saunas/hot tubs). Under normal conditions, our bodies can produce sufficient water endogenously, by metabolizing body fat and dead cells.
Interesting take, thanks!
I have heard that sources of protein matter: animal vs plant
Animal protein has more efficacy than plant protein
I think that may be true for peak performance, but there are other tradeoffs. I've noticed many older athletes adopting plant based diets for longevity reasons.
For ordinary health purposes, I don't think anyone who's eating a whole food type diet will be struggling for protein, as long they're eating some beans/nuts/seeds/eggs/dairy/meat/etc.
Since you have such an interest in health science, I suggest looking into "endogenous water".
Your first and third points are great and correct, but for the second one,
I think we should still drink water as usual since it's not enough to keep the body fully hydrated. We even lose water constantly, even by just breathing
