Actually you said it yourself that I worship one God, the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. Each is not a god, they are all God as you yourself said. And what do you get when you add infinity + infinity + infinity, if you want to play the mathematical argument?
So God alone cannot be considered God or holy spirit alone can't be considered God? Who sad God is infinity. No holy spirit and Jesus were not infinite as in power and knowledge. So you saying infinity just for the sake of it.

God is one ... like the US is one ... like GM is one ... like my wife and I are one.

Genesis 2:24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

Trinity is an attempt to understand the nature of God.

Fortunately, our relationship with God is not dependent upon our complete understanding of His far more advanced nature.

That knowledge only BEGINS to be unveiled in the Old Testament, and, is subsequently developed, as are other themes in the Bible.

Genesis 1:26 And God said: 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness;

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
So you agree one is not like one person but like one family or one in unity?

Why would He ?

Is the perfect/complete knowledge of God's manifestation necessary for relationship with Him ?
Of course it is. How can you know who God is when you don't understand his basic nature. You can go making your own interpretations of God

One Deity = One Godhead = All that is God
"All that is God". So you are saying God is not alone not one personality like a person who is unique in whole universe but God is One in unity or 3 deities?

Do you believe anything which has not been written ???
I believe in facts that are spoken too that I can see and verify with my own eyes. As for God I believe only him and his prophets. Jesus never said trust John or anybody after me, neither did father nor did holy ghost.

God is One plane of existence which is unique in the Universe ... in which (3) Persons operate to fulfill a common purpose and plan.

You tell me. It's ur bible which says Hear o Israel the Lord your God is One Lord.
One Lord ... is, essentially, One level of governing.

And it is clear that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit ALL have a role in that governing ...

I trust him because God in his holy book specifically told us that everything of religion is told to him from God and there is nothing that he speaks from himself. Now did God or Jesus or holy spirit tell to follow any of the bible writers?

What's important about the nature of God are that He is LOVING, JUST, MERCIFUL, FULL of GRACE, TRUTH, etc.

What His being looks like (an analogy) ... is not so important ...

That's the basic understanding all religions have of their God. We say God can't have a son and you believe God does have a son so how can you be honestly sure who's right?

Of course ... it was Mohammed that testified to that.

Our scriptures say that every proposition must be supported by, at least, 2 witnesses. Even Christ did not, uniquely, speak for Himself.

Christianity proceeds from, at least, 40 individuals that spoke for God ...

Ephesians 2

19 Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens of the saints and members of God’s household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.

So you agree there are three different deities who and one in unity not one single personality?
Not claiming to have full knowledge of the Godhead, ... I will stick with the Biblical description of One Godhead ... which includes three Persons ...

God says that He has a Son ...

Matthew 3

16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

It's simple logic. You would not believe in Jesus if you did not believe in Bible sale way I'd not believe in Muhammad if I did not believe in Quran. So if quran/bible says there will come prophets does not mean anyone can claim to be prophet and they can't say because bible or quran said so. The authority must always be specific.
