For claiming that you are what your brain does, and the (implied) correlation that another identical brain would therefore continue to manifest an identical experience. All of this is entirely conjectural, we have no evidence one way or another.
Your caveat that you must be cut and pasted and not copied doesn’t help your argument, in fact it does the opposite, because it is not theoretically impossible that two identical versions of “you” could exist concurrently.
That is afaik our current best guess at what consciousness is. If you don’t accept that model as true at least for the moment, I don’t know what we’re talking about.
Again, you have no evidence for any of that.
For what?

We don’t know what consciousness is, that’s my point. It’s called ‘the hard problem of consciousness’ for a reason, there is no consensus.
That’s why I said current best guess. If we have no idea at all, this entire discussion is useless and OP should delete.
