Because Christ said He was speaking spiritually and that the flesh profited nothing.

He was referring to our flesh. Not His own. And does that mean the flesh of Jesus' profit us nothing? Was the Crucifixtion a sham? What then, was the whole point of God becoming Man?

Say what? One can easily come to a belief in a triune God today simply by reading scripture with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Oh yes, the mythical plain sense of scripture with the Holy Spirit leading the charge of so many people to different understandings of the Truths of the Faith found in scripture. You'll forgive me if I "say what" to that one. Incidentally, I find it interesting that even protestants acknowledge multiple senses of scripture. So then, if it's plain I should never hear the word exegesis or hermenutics out of the mouth of a protestant ever again, right?

Now prove that the “traditions” talked about in that verse are the “traditions” taught by the Catholic Church.

I already did. There was a failure to recognize it. The Holy Spirit leads the Catholic Church into all Truth. The Roman Catholic Church is preserved from teaching error. Simple as that. We have the promise of Christ and its in Sacred Scripture. It simply cannot happen.

The entire conversation is about eating His flesh and all at once He changes the subject to talk about our flesh. Suuuuuurrrrrreeee He did. You may have fallen for that Catholic meme but not anyone who studies scripture looking for truth.

>>And does that mean the flesh of Jesus' profit us nothing?<<

Matthew 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

I’m not even going to address that nonsense about the Catholic Church not teaching error. Christ did not promise that the Catholic Church would not teach error. It’s history of atrocities is well documented.

John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

I don't know how much plainer this could be said and Catholics will still deny it with their dying breath because the RCC told them differently.
