I'm commenting here because I honestly didn't think Commons could be acting in a manner that required them to actively ignore laws, and thought it highly unlikely that Commons would be actively removing mere requests for credit from works.

That's a separate allegation. Removing credit is clearly incorrect - that's the provenance of the image and it needs to be kept. However, that's an entirely separate matter from (a) asserting a nonexistent copyright (b) claiming said copyright as a reason to keep attribution with it.
Do you have diffs showing removal of the correct provenance of images? Not removal of dubious assertions of copyright, but of the thing you've just actually claimed in this email.
