I think people like you should understand that there’s a difference of opinion on Bid’ah and Mawlid between the scholars, and not all of them share the same understanding as you do? I could quote many scholars, (Imam Suyuti, Ibn Hajar al-asqalani, Ibn Abidin, etc) who supported the Mawlid and there are many other scholars who prohibited it. Whichever two of the opinions you follow, is the correct opinion and we should appreciate healthy differences of opinion.The only way to follow the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is through the way of the Sahabah and how they understood the deen. Then it is through the way of the Salaf and how they were taught Islam.
You will never find any of these deviant celebrating bid'ah merchants bring you evidence from any of these blessed people to the permissibility of Christian tradition of celebrating a Prophet's birth.
It is always emotional responses and their go to line "what is the harm in it?".....Jahanam maybe, that seems pretty harmful to me
May Allah keep us on the straight path of the Qur'an and Sunnah & guide these people

The Prophet ﷺ and the sahabah رضي الله عنهم did not use cameras or social media to spread the message of Islam? But that doesn’t mean spreading Islam using modern tools is prohibited.
As Al Hafiz Ibn Hajar رَحِمَهُ الله states, celebrating the Mawlid with good actions is Bid’ah hasanah (good innovation).
