Rotation has no velocity?

No net velocity. The motion on the one side cancels the motion on the other side. But that's beside the point. The point is that while you can make velocity disappear by an appropriate choice of coordinates, you cannot make angular velocity disappear.

But you just did. "The motion on the one side cancels the motion on the other side."
