If I recall, the apostles suggesting building shelters for them and a voice from heaven interrupted them directing them to listen to Jesus.

Certainly open to interpretation. One such would be that the Old Covenant was over, and the teachings of Moses and Elijah ignored, henceforth. That would be a more logical explanation than yours than yours, although I don't think either one totally defines the episode.

The deciples wanted to build shrines and “venerate” them but God rebuked them and told them to turn to Jesus.

Jesus alone is sufficient for salvation. Coredemtrixes are not only unnecessary, they’re also an insult to our Savior and Creator.
