Well yes. Just as I will ignore claims of copyright by the building owner over photos I take of buildings in the UK.>>

Not a good example. The building owner is not working your camera, you are. You own the photographs you take, not the person who owns the object being photographed.
But what you are advocating, is that if you take lots of photos, and post them to your own web site, that any person wandering by who says "Oh that's an image of a piece of art in the public domain" can just lift it off your site, and plop it on theirs.
Without any credit to you, without any consideration.
That's quite different from taking a picture of a building.
