Reporting this data home also costs power.

It's rather pathetic how Apple restricts user's right to use full capabilities of their devices (like restricting running apps in the background) to 'increase their battery life' while simultaneously be perfectly fine to use that power for their own benefit.

I wonder can a user disable this airtag reporting feature if he doesn't own a single airtag and doesn't want to participate in this surveillance network?

You can disable it from the Find My settings for iCloud in your phone.

Limiting background execution is annoying, but I'm not sure if you understand how much battery an app running in the background can consume when compared to something like this.

I am not so sure you understand how well I am aware.
