>> “but it will have physicality” <<

.
It will be a spiritual body, as Yeshua explained very aptly to Nicodemus in John 3:8

It will be able to move through the physical universe invisibly as does the wind.

John 3:

[5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
[6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
[7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
[8] The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth:
so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Go to your own.

Did Jesus eat with the Disciples AFTER His resurrection? Did Jesus tell someone to touch His resurrected body, to confirm He had physicality?

To deny Jesus's teaching reveals one is owned by a spirit of confusion. His resurrection body has dimensional capabilities beyond JUST the 4D world we now sense, but it does have 4D capabilities as well as dimensional capabilities beyond the mere 4D of our current senses. A spirit of confusion will lead one into absurdities, like denying the body Jesus has now and the bodies He will transform us into have physicality.

In Jesus’s teaching for Nicodemus, Jesus refers to being born from above. This birth is hallmarked by the Holy Spirit coming into believers, as shown graphically in Acts on the Day of Pentecost and in the House of Cornelius. The passage in John 3 does not refer to the body believers will be transformed into at the resurrection and Rapture of the believers in Christ. A spirit of confusion warps the mind, leading the warped to believe they have special truth which others are too stupid or too stubborn to understand. What the Bible teaches is not confusion, yet those under the spirit of confusion can be misled so easily by this spirit using Bible passages speciously, like confusing the passage in John 3 with the passage in 1 Cor 15:51-53.

Perhaps, but a study of the passages using harpadzo will give you greater illumination. Take Philip:

"And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea" (Ac. 8:39-40 AV).

Philip started out with a temporal, physical body, and wound up with eggzakly the same --- Why don't you go and catalogue the different ways in which αρπάζω (harpadzo, Strong's Greek dictionary number 526) is used. Maybe your viewpoint will be a bit modified.
