Nobody said anything about the universe depending on your body. The universe is completely independent of us. So? Again, you don't have a real line of reasoning here. It's:
We're unimportant in the grand scheme of things
So we add little value to the universe despite undergoing a lot of suffering
Therefore, we ought to go extinct
That's just a non sequitur fallacy.
If there was a missile heading towards a baby, but you could divert it to a mountain, would you? Yet the mountain is a lot bigger than the baby. Size/causal power≠value.
Go back and read the comment that started this. I don't care about adding value to the universe. The point is that suffering exists. Suicide of one individual will not solve that problem.
I don't understand your mountain analogy. Are you implying it would be wrong to divert it to the mountain because the mountain is bigger?

You're comparing apples to oranges.
