All the problems you describe are problems of biosphere carrying capacity. If technological advancement continued to the point that humans transcended biology, we would no longer need soil or fish, suffer from PFAS or nitrate pollution, etc. Now, I am not suggesting this is any imminent development myself, I only pointing out that it is very often viewed as part of the "problem to be solved".
