I partially agree, and I can enumerate other issues with peer review that you have not listed, but it is worthwhile to point out some of the positive features of the peer review concept: - Peer review in reputable non-profit journals actually provides constructive suggestions that make papers and research itself better. APS's PRX and PRL, as well as Quantum are journals where I have seen these idealistic positive effects; - Filtering out the obvious red flags is pretty valuable even if boring; - Thanks to people who care about the "ideal" of peer review we now have the infrastructure necessary to make reproducability much easier: mandatory data and code sharing on archival services, open (even crowdsourced) peer review, immediate feedback, etc.
