“I suppose you could make a similar arguement that since the Holy Spirit resides in us we are God.”
nice try but no dice.
We are made in the image of God - he welcomes into His family, and thus the Holy Spirit is invited to reside in us.
There has been only one person who was “overshadowed” by the Holy Spirit to such a degree that the Word became man and united his Divine nature with his physical nature in his womb.
This is a singular event in history. She carried him, she bore him - she is His mother.
Elizabeth called her “mother of my Lord”, and so do I.
whoops!
not “his” womb of course...make that “her womb”
“Elizabeth called her “mother of my Lord”, and so do I.”

So what does that mean I’m supposed to pray to her. I think Jesus said to pray to his Father not Mary.
the whole point is that Mary is not to be worshipped.
