Yeah, we will have to end it there because you're just ignoring half of what I'm saying and ignoring the episode itself.

I disagree because you're just objectively wrong. The literal argument made in the episode is that what Janeway is doing is wrong. It has nothing to do with wiping out his unique experience. It's the fact that he doesn't want to die. That's the literal words he uses. "I don't want to die." Both Tuvix and Kes talk to Janeway about whether or not he should die. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not a version of him will continue to exist.

Take care, wish you the best, but I am beyond done.
