> I backed up the risks with a link.

The problem is that your link doesn't really backs up your claims. #1 and #5 deal exclusively with people with various kidney conditions. #2, #3, #4 and #6 deal with issues that are only tangentially related to consuming too much protein.

All research that claims that eating too much protein is harmful is either about people with kidney disease or explores really far-fetched theoretical scenarios.

While harms of consuming too little protein are obvious and self-evident. Every tissue of your body constantly regenerates itself. Generating new tissue is impossible without protein, because protein is what it is made of.
