The age limit for the presidency is explicit in the Constitution. It may be implicitly overturned by 14A, but there's an argument that authors of 14A knew about the presidential age limit, and chose not to overturn it explicitly, thus, the age limit for the presidency stands as an exception.
I'm not claiming to be correct, nor you to be wrong, but I don't see this as being as cut-and-dry as you do. I don't see current SCOTUS majorly agreeing with your assessment, especially by those who claim to be constitution originalists.
If I were on SCOTUS, I would concur with your argument.
