Before we get to the question of why you believe you know more than the researchers, let's review the question you're skipping over...
Ranked at what?
covid cases per one million people
Thank you.
How many studies do you want? How about a meta analysis: "A total of 6 studies were included, involving 4 countries, after a total of 5,178 eligible articles were searched in databases and references. In general, wearing a mask was associated with a significantly reduced risk of COVID-19 infection (OR = 0.38, 95% CI: 0.21-0.69, I2 = 54.1%). For the healthcare workers group, masks were shown to have a reduced risk of infection by nearly 70%. Sensitivity analysis showed that the results were robust." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0196655320310439
So much wrongness, and you don't need Harvard to tell you - all you have to do is wear a mask for a while. They get wet.
And the virus doesn't crawl around by itself - it's carried in the water droplets.
That's simply wrong. They're for sale at every hardware store in the country. You see people wearing them all over the place.

I'll repeat this quote: "Our findings indicate that both respirators and medical masks provide a high as-worn bioaerosol protection efficacy against virus containing aerosols, and therefore, a very high protection against airborne diseases. Considering the higher comfort, better availability, and lower price of medical masks in contrast to respirators, it is recommendable to use medical face masks especially in low risk situations and in general public." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36317154/
The biggest study was Florida vs New York and it failed to produce any meaningful difference. Also a few studies does not mean the conclusion they draw are accurate. There are a few studies the point to the opposite of yours, that are just as credible, if not more.
Actually it is also spread with aerosols, which are much finer than water droplets caused by coughing and such. They are fine enough to penetrate the mask, which is easily self observed if you wear a mask in the cold. read this if you need a study first result in google. Also what happens to the virus when the moisture evaporates? Does it disappear? Surely it wouldn't just dislodge from the mask now would it?
uh, no duh, that's where they always are, for when you are using them for their intended task of filtering fine sanding particles and such. but I'll say this for the millionth time, nobody ever provided or mandated the n95 mask during the pandemic.
