“Cursed be he who confirmeth not all the words of this law to do
them. And all the people shall say, Amen.” (Deuteronomy_27:26)

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That Differ” (online)

"For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are
not under the law, but under Grace." (Romans_6:14)​

"
...Have you ever been sick with a fever? You probably used a thermometer to tell
you just how high your temperature was, but it could not take away your fever,
could it? The Law was like a thermometer to the Jews. It showed them just how
sinful they were, but it was powerless to take away that sin...

...God included instructions for offering sacrifices. He provided a way for the
people to have their sins covered when they fell short of God’s standards.
When someone sinned, they would confess it to God and bring a perfect,
spotless animal to the priest. The animal was sacrificed upon an altar.
It took the punishment for the one who sinned..." (L Gardner)

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That Differ” (online)

"...Today things are very different. We are no longer under the Law but under
God’s Grace (Romans_6:14). We don’t have to worry about sacrifices for every
sin we commit. We do not have to depend upon a human priest and worship
in a temple.

Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection changed all that. John_1:17—“For the law
was given by Moses, but Grace and Truth Came by Jesus Christ.” When the Savior
was hanging on the Cross, His Last Words were, “It is finished.” It was a wonderful
victory cry. The Words that He used meant, “It is finished and forever done.”
The battle over sin, death, and Hell was over...
" (L Gardner)

"But Christ Being Come An High Priest of good things to come, by a greater
and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this
building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, But By His Own Blood
(God's ALL-Sufficient BLOOD!) He Entered In Once Into The Holy Place,
Having Obtained Eternal Redemption" (Hebrews 9:11-12)​

While much of what you say is true...however, there is no conclusion to the matter. You assume that by describing what Jesus did that somehow counts for us on an intellectual level.
You are neglecting to parallel the animal sacrifices of the OT...and reflect that into offering ourselves as living sacrifices to God. The animal part of us...the carnal covering of outer man that contains our sinful nature....needs to be sacrificed. We need to be crucified in the outer man in order to be raised to new life in the inner man. God's covenant is not with the whole person. We need to be divided by rightly dividing the word of truth.

The above is true, however Jesus said:
And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, ‘The old is better.’” Luke5:39
