There is substantial evidence that covid was over diagnosed (by a ton).

There is substantial evidence that the flu was under diagnosed (by a ton).

You are taking those two pieces of evidence and from that extrapolating that covid doesn't exist. Your conclusion does not follow necessarily from the evidence. On the contrary, there were far more (orders of magnitude more) people diagnosed with covid than ever before in flu history (not counting the 1918 "flu epidemic" when we hadn't even hypothesized about something called a "virus" yet). There were also far more deaths attributed to covid than ever before in flu history. If you take all the flu deaths and subtract them from all the reported covid deaths, there are orders of magnitude left over. I think many of those covid deaths were actually deaths from other things, but again, that doesn't in any way mean that covid is not a real thing, i.e. your conclusion does not necessarily follow.

I have had the flu several times in my life, perhaps 10(?). What I experienced last year was like the flu, but with unique symptoms that have been expressed by other people. Specifically my sense of smell and taste were thrown completely out of whack. While these senses have been muted in previous flu episodes, this was completely different. Things smelled incorrect, to the point that there was serious cognitive dissonance when trying to eat. I had to force myself to eat, just because every single thing I tried to eat smelled so completely incorrect my body tried to reject it.

That is a reportedly common experience with what people call "covid." Unless and until you experience this unique symptom, you can't appreciate how different it is from any flu symptom I have ever experienced or heard of. Whatever happened, it was unique. Denying that in support of your theory is not the path of honest investigation.

In addition, there is substantial (monumental) mounds of evidence that there was a unique virus called SARS-CoV-2 that was created in a lab and released upon the world.

There is substantial (monumental) mounds of evidence that a unique virus with the same RNA as SARS-CoV-2 was found in thousands upon thousands of lab tests (I mean lab tests, not "covid tests"). Covid deniers deny these tests, but I have performed these tests myself (not on SARS, but on other things previously). People say these tests are all fraudulent. No one who conducts these tests (like myself) who understands what these tests are really doing denies them. What would be required for these tests to be fraudulent would be for literally everything in biology to be a scam. It would basically require there to be little demons that run in and adjust all biological experiments done by a million biologists over the past century to align with the theory of "fraud" in these experiments. In other words, these tests are based on millions of experiments. They didn't come out for SARS, they are tests that have been run uncountable times. They are experimental protocols that were built upon millions of other experimental protocols that led up to them. Literally the entirety of biology would have to be not only "wrong," it would have to be completely wrong, at every single step, from the idea of a corporeal body on down to all of chemistry.

Denying all of this evidence to support your theory (especially the unique symptoms) is not an honest investigation.
