Blocksize needs to be increased now.

Although I believe that with a soft fork, everything keeps working for everyone and with a hard fork there are users who can't see some transactions, and think they haven't gotten paid when they have.
But with soft forks, the protocol in 10 or 20 years is going to be a horrible and confusing mess.

No, that's wrong. With a hard fork you either have to upgrade, or are unable to use the current network. You may end up on a minority chain or a dead chain (which isn't longer Bitcoin in either case).

You say 'spam' - > you or others (link?)  need to prove not me .

No, not really. How about you prove that they aren't spam? 30k unconfirmed transactions in the 1-10 satoshis/byte range says a lot.

30k unconfirmed transactions in the 41+ satoshis/byte range says a lot.

No...  snipped

I don't get it. https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions shows close to 65k transactions

Why the blocksize does not need to be increased?

The node of Bitcoin may become less and less. So it is becoming Sth called centralized

To run a node now you need 100G in disk

The node count will drop anyway when adoption stops or altcoins hype.
