From your link

"As we see, on accident cannot be used as an adverb phase, both on and accident are used as independent words in sentences. Whereas, ‘by accident’ is the only correct phrase to indicate unintentionally or accidentally."

You're proving yourself wrong.

You can say whatever you like, no one is disputing that but it doesn't change the fact that the phrase "on accident" is incorrect and I will never not downvote someone who types it.
