So this is how we become immortal! Just absorb all the plastics and become plastic! Then when we use far more futuristic materials in the future we'll start absorbing them as well and so on until we're entirely made of some anti-gravity, self cloaking, spacetime continuum jumping, interdimentional supermaterial!

Nope, just cancer and we go extinct.
The first few dozen generations will get cancer, sure but eventually those plastics will be "an essential source of hydrocarbons" and the government will declare a public health emergency when plants and fish are suddenly missing these essential ingredients for chip-in-brain compatibility to work.
