Now we've heard it all. What Christ says about himself isn't about him at all, but Peter? Yeah, that's it. That's really what this logic leads to ultimately. Peter is Christ. Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ isn't exclusive to Christ at all, it includes Peter as well. Makes perfect sense to everything you've presented so far. At least you're being consistent in your logic.
I never said anything about Jesus making reference only to Peter. You made that up. I said, "What Jesus says about Himself is not exclusive to what He says about Peter." To re-phrase so you understand, what Jesus said about himself is not excluding Peter, which, it seems, you wish Peter would be entirely excluded. Then you might have a case.
BTW, "Kepha" is a new name, not a metaphor.
