Controversy over raw milk reflects the push-pull the Trump administration faces in rolling back regulations and offering consumers more choices. For now, the CDC still recommends against consuming raw milk and the FDA bans its interstate sale.
I question your ability to actually understand the sources that you have quoted here. They don’t support your arguments. Just because scientists frequently investigate potential negative externalities of milk consumption doesn’t imply that it’s unhealthy to consume.
That first article is actually extremely interesting, but the authors overstate the significance of their findings by quite a distance.

Pasteurization of milk is an inappropriate method to prevent the spread of milk exosomes to the human milk consumer. In this regard, UHT is much more effective.
UHT milk is already widely available and is simply a form of pasteurization that utilizes a higher temperature to kill bacterial endospores and apparently, milk exosomes. So the existence of that form of pasteurization, which the authors apparently prefer to distinguish from more conventional pasteurization for no apparent reason, largely invalidates the litany of potential concerns that they laid out.
Furthermore, their health concerns are largely speculative and based on limited evidence. The main focus of the research seems to be caused by the fact that milk exosomes are currently being considered for use as vessels for the delivery of medicinal drugs.
Due to their low antigenicity, excellent bioavailability in many tissues and easy crossing of tissue boundaries such as the intestinal and blood–brain barrier, pharmacology became highly interested in bovine milk exosomes as therapeutic delivery systems of small interfering RNAs, drugs and phytochemicals.
The authors seem to be arguing against the use of this technique, and possibly for good reason. But that is an entirely separate argument from the one that you are trying to construct.
