"That was the place that God said He would dwell."

What about the bronze serpent in the desert?

You might want to check out what they did to that thing after the Israelites started to “venerate” it.

Notice the only examples you can offer where God doesn’t condemn graven images are ones where God specifically commanded them to be made? A specific commandment can override a general one, but only within the bounds of that specific instance. So, unless you have a special command from God to make images of Mary, Jesus, and the saints, those verses are no help to you.
