I did not say National Popular Vote is intended to redistribute the Electoral College votes, essentially,to even them out.

Yes you did.

You said, "Under National Popular Vote, every vote, everywhere, would be politically relevant and equal in every presidential election.

You can't have "every vote... politically relevant and equal" and still have an unevenly distributed Electoral College. Today, the popular votes in the smaller states have more Electoral College weight than the popular votes in the larger states. "Equalizing" the votes "everywhere" rebalances the weighting in the Electoral College.

Equal votes everywhere, and preserving the Electoral College, are mutually exclusive goals.

The rest of your post is just copy/paste of things you already posted to me several times now in this thread.

Every “Popular” vote, everywhere would be politically relevant and equal in every presidential election.

Electoral Votes would remain distributed as they are now.
