You seem to emphasize the second part of that commandment. Certainly it's important, but isn't the first part important as well? They go together. Either one cannot be taken by itself.
In fact, the question at issue is of the making of images, not of bowing down before them or worshipping them. I'm sure you and I are in perfect agreement that those who actually bow down before and worship images of Jesus are plainly guilty of idolatry. But that's not the question here.
Agree completely.

If I make a graven image, haven't I violated the part which says not to?
