You forgot finger prints, photo's, AI, medical history through routine exams, spending habits harvested through CC use and any form of digital banking, living habits analyzed through electric bills, internet activity, auto use, travel, etc.

Your fear is misguided and you have already lost the game.

You seem to be supporting the fact that this is a valid concern. Every piece of data can (and eventually will likely) be used against you at some point. The more data you give up, the more ammo you're handing over to the people today and tomorrow who want to exploit you. DNA contains a ton of data, and it's very different from the data in your utility bills or your GPS history. Keeping your DNA out of the dossiers data brokers keep on you would be a smart move even taking into account how much other data they already have.
