What it “ACTUAL” says is “no disrespect” not “no unintended disrespect beyond the disrespect you deserve” - the intended use case is clarifying statements that are ambiguous or could read as disrespect, but are intended respectfully.
I do not agree that it’s “intended” as a window-dressing disclaimer for open disrespect. Even if you personally feel that the target deserves no respect - just have the balls to disrespect them openly and without dancing about the matter.
The word use is very clear: “with all due respect” means “with all the respect that is due”. If you want to express respect whether it’s due or not, you say “respectfully”. You’re the one who’s trying to enforced your personal definition over the logical ACTUAL one.
Btw, I do not dance around anything myself. When using the expression towards someone who’s NOT worthy of any respect, I say “with all due respect, which is none”.
