I just want a high end phone that supports something like lineageos, has a micro SD slot, and decent battery life. Somehow it's hard to find.

Then go with Oneplus. 2 years and 2 months and my oneplus 3 with dual sim or 1 sim/ 1 sd card is still working perfectly fine and receiving updates, getting Android P before 2019 (in theory)

  Latest one doesn't have an SD slot apparently Google says the OnePlus 3 doesn't have it either, is that wrong?

  Oneplus has never offered an sd card slot

    Oneplus X had one. Dual sim and second sim could be used as an SD card.

Any Samsung phone?

  Samsungs have crappy battery life and no SD slot. I know because I'm typing this on a Galaxy S6.

    Galaxy S8/S9 do have micro SD, battery life still not great but on par with other similar phones I think.

    And - referring back to one of the reasons why /e/ was created - Samsung has crappy, horrible privacy practices.

Xiaomi Picophone F1. SD845, 4-6GB RAM, micro-sd slot, 4000mAh. Popular enough for treble and lineageOS dev last I've checked... I'm actually using a whyred (RN5) now which is it's cheaper cousin with SD635 and fully flourishing custom ROM scenes.

  It looks very interesting (Pocophone, right? Not Picophone? [Even though "Picophone" sounds better to me]). But it's just out, and that too only in India? or at least not in the US, and it doesn't seem to support all of the US bands. Also, no lineageos support at this point. not surprising, given its newness. But looks like one to keep an eye on!

It's getting a bit long in the tooth, but the Samsung S5 has a microSD slot (up to 128Gb), is waterproof, and has decent battery life. What is more, just pop up the back and swap a new battery (US$14 off of Amazon) in. And it has LineageOS 15.1 on it. Again, it is older, but is a high end phone.
