Your charger may not be harmful but that doesn't mean all chargers won't be or that all USB ports are safe.
Imagine if everyone used USB-C then we'd get to the point where no one would carry their charger with them because they could just borrow a charger or plug their computer into a random USB charge port at the Airport or Hotel.
At that point anyone could just setup a free "charge station" that would attempt to execute any number of nefarious exploits against anything plugged into them.
