> Based on the foregoing, a falsifiable idea is not a truth, it is merely an idea that has survived falsification so far.

You seem to be unaware of the incontrovertible fact of logic that a proposition can be both true and falsifiable.

Also, you strangely ignore the fact that science aims to produce models that make reliably true predictions. E.g., "If I drop this pencil it will fall to the ground", or "The sun will rise tomorrow morning at 6:27am", or "Information shall never travel from point A to point B faster than a quantum of light."

True predictions are "truths", and science is chock full of them. Furthermore, science's aim is to produce more and more such truths with every passing day.
