You never heard of terms like Old Testament, prophecy, fulfillment, types, foreshadowing? -— Really, Biblical as your interests run, I know the concepts of Biblical imaging, personification, metaphor, etc are not unfamiliar to you.
If you sincerely mistake Scriptural phrases like “Daughter Zion” or “Lady Ecclesia” as demigoddess titles -— that is, if you’re not just snarking -— I have to wonder how much of the OT and NT is truly Terra Incognita to you.
(I’m not saying this to belittle you. I’m sure you know a great deal. There’s so much depth in Scripture, and I’d be the first to admit my limitations before so vast a horizon.)

The problem with your reasoning is the Roman Catholic begins to "read into" the text things that aren't there.
The emphasis on Mary in Roman Catholicism has turned her into a demi-goddess....complete with idols and prayers and exalted titles as I've demonstrated previously.
Daughter of Zion is Israel - so stolen when given to Mary.
Lady Ecclesia - give me a verse reference please.
I’ll let the rest go until you provide a verse.
Hope you do better than the mother of God reference
Really
mistake Scriptural phrases
Yes, and they are all about JESUS, not and never Mary.
The only prophecy about Mary was the one about the virgin being with child and giving birth. And that's prophecy, not foreshadowing or a type.
There's NOTHING else in Scripture at all that alludes to her.
