They are all semi-equal. Bobby Fischer said "With 1.e4! I win," but there is nearly no tangible difference besides the openings they lead to and the characters of the game- 1.e4 is generally sharp, 1.d4 positional, 1.c4 unbalanced (even to the point that one English line, 1.c4 d5 2.Nc3, really is called the "Reversed Sicilian"). It's really 1.e4/1.d4/1.c4?! (?!=inaccurate, !?=novelty). 1.c4 is really only inferior in the respect that it controls 1 center square (e5) rather than 2 (d5,f5 for e4/c5,e5 for d4).
I've been preferring d4 lately, but honestly.... it's a meaningless debate. If you want to meaningfully compare repertoires you'll need to get more specific than just a move-1 assessment.
Anyway, I couldn't address all the babble in this thread, you talk for pages and pages and it takes too long to read all this. But regarding your statements in the OP:
- while E4 is generally more tactical for both sides, in E4 white has the initiative and can usually steer the game into lines white prefers, i.e. white has an easier time entering the traps he wants to play than black does. So your argument that "black has 1000 traps" is just completely undermined here.
- in E4 white doesn't have to play bad sicilian lines like the Smith Morra or Bowdler. There are much better options. You use those as examples but they're very bad examples.
- your argument against the English on account of the anglo-Scandi assumes white has no idea what he's doing. Many of your arguments assume this. That's a bad assumption to make.
if where talking in a microscopic world d4 is the best move 1 percent higher win rate little bit more advantage and a few more things d4 is better then e4 with
