That's not even 0.1% of the total fish we kill every year. Granted, that's just sheer numbers, not weight
Weird flex but okay
My point being we sure as heck could be eating that many fins
That would be a huge mistake, sharks are filled with Mercury.

Sharks hunt smaller predatory fish, which hunt for the same fish as humans. By killing sharks the fishermen are actually increasing their competition.
Huh? what are these smaller predatory fish that we don't eat?
smaller sharks for instance.
