What's wrong with gravity theory?

If I was to summarize your post in a nutshell it would be the use of word salad as a substitute for your lack of knowledge and understanding of the science.
Let’s look at some of your claims about the science but ignore the corresponding word salad.
If elliptical orbits are not mechanical energy conserved then elliptical orbits cannot exist long term.
Mechanical energy is conserved as the KE+PE (KE = Kinetic energy, PE = potential energy) at any point in the orbit has the same value.
Introduce an external force and KE+PE can no longer be constant.
It’s for this reason the orbits of artificial satellites are beyond the Earth’s atmosphere otherwise atmospheric drag which is an external force converts orbital mechanical energy into heat and the orbit will decay.

The solar system is clearly not relatively clean of elliptical debris due to the presence of the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

I think that a gravity field only comes from a dipole or bonded matter.
If gravity came from a dipole the inverse square law wouldn’t apply instead it would be the inverse cube law as in the case for electric and magnetic dipoles.
On a more advanced level gravitational fields can have a quadrupole symmetry which if varied with time emit gravitational waves.
The motion of the proton is right handed and the electron is left handed.
This is simply not true.
Being fermions protons and electrons have two distinct spin states which can either be in the same or opposite direction to its linear momentum. In other words protons and electrons can exist as either right handed or left handed particles; otherwise the Pauli Exclusion Principle is violated and we would not be able explain a variety of mechanisms such as how molecular bonds are formed, to the strong force that hold protons and neutrons in a nucleus.
The only particle that is observed to be exclusively left handed is the neutrino.

And the proton has more mass and inertia.......that means the electron does almost all the displacement.
No it doesn’t.
It simply means more work is required to move a proton.
Plasmas can form double layers where ions which can be considerably more massive than protons are separated from electrons.
If the electron does nearly all the displacement double layers cannot form in both laboratory and astrophysical plasmas.

Don't think of light as having a velocity........think of it as an area acceleration.
Both the speed of light and of a marble is dimensionally the same (L/T) and represents velocity.
Since photons are massless they travel at a speed c in a vacuum and are independent of the motion of the observer doing the measurement, as shown in Special Relativity.

Not to mention the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud.

Once again more word salad.
The Hipparcos mission very accurately measured the positions of over 100,000 stars.
In order to accomplish this it had to subtract the error caused by the gravitational bending of light.
Gravitational bending was found to be significant even at 90⁰ to the ecliptic well beyond any starlight passing to a plasma atmosphere.
If refraction was the cause, the bending of light would be wavelength dependant.

The recent image of the Black Hole in the galaxy M87 clearly shows the gravitational lensed photon sphere.

Thanks JackRT, I figured it out, I forgot to multiply 1000 to the kilometers

In fact, the gravitational acceleration at the Sun's surface is 274 m/s². Devin 553344 used a Sun-Earth distance of 149,600 km (less than the Sun's radius) rather than 149,600,000 km, and therefore obtained a value of g that was a million times too large.
