"They know what humans are, most they know what they look like since seven fell before Frisk, and them saying or remarking that your human in battle or in the overworld is just redundant, since that would be saying the obvious."

Yet Papyrus was the first one to actually notify the authorities. And when it comes to the overworld monsters it's even more strange. They keep chatting with you like nothing. Even speaking of humans and Asgore's plan in front of you. At that point, it would be weird if they DIDN'T mention their realization that you're a human, if they knew it. I don't know what's "normal behavior" supposed to look like in this context, but I can tell that chatting with a human while knowing so would not be normal for them at all.

"Why does the wind blow? Why do we exist? Why is everything the way it is? What caused the big bang? What made what caused the big bang? What created what made what caused the big bang? Etc."

No seriously. Why does the HUD exist? You may not care about such question, but I do. I won't accept your belief that the HUD is here "just because." That's no answer for me, that's an answer for creationists. And the question does serve a purpose. See, if the HUD is not natural, if there's no natural logical process by which it could have been created, then we must assume that it has been constructed artificially. And that's already moving us somewhere.

"That the Player is the Anomaly, an entity that sees and uses the world as a game."

Flowey was the anomaly that Sans detected. That's been confirmed already.

"Also, Oneshot never even references the fact that it's a game"

It never calls itself by that name. But it fully embraces the idea of a player-game connection. This is unlike Undertale, which tried to merge the two, which failed horribly. As we can obviously see.
