There’s an argument to be made for hygienic uses of circumcision and doing it at a later year (post puberty) could cause larger health complications and scarring than doing it in infancy. I don’t mind leaving it at the discretion of the parents as it is really a fairly simple surgery whose complications are entirely due to the competency of the doctor.
If men weren't meant to have a foreskin, it wouldn't be there in nature. Circumcision was also incredibly rare outside of Judaism until they started pushing it in the 20th century.
I see circumcision as one of the first body modifications by humans who think they "know better" than nature. Given science's poor track record in deciding what is important and what isn't on the human body I wouldn't trust it.
It’s been proven to date back to 6000bc with evidence as far back as 15000bc.

This is patently false, while Judaism heavily utilizes the practice, Islam and Christianity did as well. Circumcision was one of the best preventive measures for infection in men before antiseptics. England and America started using it as a preventative measure of stds mid 19th century and was largely pushed by devout Christian doctors. One of the more famous being Dr. Kellogg who founded the company of the same name.
Circumcision= double mastectomy?
At this level of logic freezing a mole is the same as a removing a kidney…
