is there a way to choose who one plays or not without all these penalties?

I am not interested in playing bots or computers.

Is there a way to set parameters of a challenge? Can I search for a game within certain ratings only?

Just tired of playing the advanced bots in the lower rating levels. also tired of all the engine use, and at different levels there is more happening than others.

You can set a range but it will always include your rating.

If you suspect ant of the opponents, you should report them.
