You wrote: "Does God want us to eat meat at all? No." That was a blanket statement, that's not based on scripture. If you can't show where it says in scripture that God doesn't want us to eat meat, then you are putting words in God's mouth.
Genesis 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Genesis 3:17-19 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Isaiah 65:21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
Isaiah 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.

God gave dietary laws to ensure that if people chose to eat meat they would at least eat clean meat—but even so-called clean meat can cause cancer.
The purpose of righteousness is to bring us back in line with our original state as sinless created beings, in harmony with God's will and design. God set forth a plant-based diet at creation, which is eternal. We ate a plant-based diet in Eden, we'll eat a plant-based diet in heaven and the New Jerusalem. You can choose to eat all the meat you can while you're here, but it will be to your own detriment, physically and spiritually.
