The second denies Jesus' admonition to call no one holy except the Father

Have trouble with hyperbole much? As Protestants are fond of reminding us, Paul calls his readers "saints". What does "saint" mean? "Holy one".

The eternal God can have no mother

So is Jesus not really God, or was he not really born in a human nature? Pick your heresy.

Mary confessed to the angel that she needed a savior, thus a flesh and blood sinner

Nothing like that is in Scripture. Mary said, under inspiration, that God was her Savior, not that she needed a Savior (implying that she did not then have one). Big, big difference.

Of course He's God, but with the same license one can assume Mary is the mother of God, one may assume she never considered herself as such, nor was it ever implied TO her that that is what she is/was.

Men bestowed that title upon her ... the same caliber of men that dubbed her the Queen of Heaven ... an obvious association to the pagan Ishtar.
