Thank you for all that work.

Jesus Himself said He was the Father.

John 10:30 I and the Father are one.”

John 14:8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

9Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.

John 20:28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

He never said that.

John 10:30 I and the Father are one.”

One is substance or nature; not one in person. Hypostatically they are distinct realities. Otherwise this is Modalism.

In fact, Jesus says that "the Father is greater than I." (John 14:28)

In fact, Jesus says "my God and your God." (John 20:17)

God calling God his God?

John says a lot of things because his is the most interpolated and disconnected Gospel of the four.
