But testing doesn't eliminate 2 and 3. Testing only checks for bugs you've thought of. You still need to do manual tests of new features to catch bugs you did

It doesn't eliminate them, but it minimises the effort of performing these steps. You are of course correct in saying that you need to do manual testing to discover issues that you never thought of, but this is a separate process (which should not usually be done by developers who are too entrenched in the inner workings of the system to see it with fresh eyes).
