The issue here comes down to the authority of the Church. When the Church teaches definitively that Mary was assumed, then we must believe it, just as we must believe the creeds. Deism is false. Christ guides His Church.

If being Queen she must be close to being equal to God.

That's definitely a non-sequitur. Mary is a created human being. Christ is the Second Person of the Trinity, consubstantial with the Father. Mary is exalted through being the Mother of Christ. Forever and ever she will always be the Mother of Christ. Being the Mother of Christ puts her in a very unique and exalted position. But she is 100% human, not divine. She is not God incarnate; Christ is God incarnate. Just learn what the Church teaches, before criticizing a straw man.

I know what the Church teaches, 'Mary Queen of Heaven'. The Church is making an issue which resembles a co-equalship with God at the same time saying it's not. I find no Scripture describing this linguistic exercise.
