Why can't we have an intermediary search service that grabs search results from Google and posts them on a search website anonymously?

Startpage [1] is what you're looking for.

[1] https://startpage.com

Right. StartPage.com delivers Google search results in privacy. Plus, it offers a free proxy with every search result so you can visit websites through StartPage anonymously, too.
In DuckDuckGo, !g more or less does this, in that it disables search bubbling, but I think google can see your client IP when the results are served to your browser.
Banging into Google using !G is like searching Google directly. Banging from DDG doesn't confer any privacy protections. A lot of people don't know this.
Start page does just that. Ddg something and use !sp to search there.
Let me save you a lot of time for the future:

!s is enough to redirect to Startpage. :-)

searx proxies user requests to different search engines.
