It's interesting to note that the companies I have worked for which felt very inclusive, unfortunately aren't around anymore. The inclusivity is definitely something that I miss, even though I now work <entirely> remotely on some very creative work, in the field I studied.

I prefer an environment where I can learn, am encouraged to ask questions outside of my role, and can build relationships with coworkers. You can learn so much from coworkers, and that is frankly missing in this remote world. I hope we can find a better balance.

At the end of every work day, I send the same copy-and-pasted email from my notepad to let my boss know what I accomplished said day. It never gets a response. Like I am one of Charlie's Angels; I get my task and complete it, without ever seeing or talking to anyone about it. Hello Charlie.

In the second paragraph here, you've essentially described my ideal role, but I also like the idea of working entirely remotely.

I wonder what would happen if you gradually started making very small and increasingly unhinged changes to your copy-and-pasted email. If it got noticed, perhaps you could blame it on an AI gone rogue.
