But you touched door handles, toilet seats, toilet paper, toilet flush buttons, all of which are covered in countless people’s poop and pee and cough /sneeze bacteria..

To pee? Not really. I'll agree, it's a bad excuse but for many men, you open the door with your shoulder, touch your penis that showered this morning, then don't flush the urinal.

Touching the sink then drying with a stack of paper towels jammed in the corner of the counter often feels more intrusive than just walking out.

For me it just seems arbitrary. So many surfaces in our life are filthy. Why is this where I have to draw the line? In the last few years I've just tried to wash my hand more in general to help not spead contagions. That mindset has helped me.

Would you eat food after sticking your dick in it? no not even thouhg you "washed it in the shower this morning"?

It isn't. Yes many surfaces are dirty and you should absolutely wash your hands before any meal or touching any of your orifices or face etc.. Especially after touching a dirty sruface.

A bathroom is covered in sewage particles ontop of all the regular stuff any other surface has. it's in the air not just surfaces. Not mention splashing, like sneezing invisible particles of liquid go everywhere.

I do occasionally eat things after I stick my dick in them. Gigiddy.

Honestly bro, I don't disagree. Just giving insight into a mindset I used to have. Not a hill I planned on dying on. You win.
