CMV: I see no real benefit from Marriage that I cannot get another way.

I am trying to decide if marriage is right for me and my partner. I will explain our situation as I believe there are benefits for marriage in other relationships. I will state a few benefits I have read online and counter them. Please add other benefits that I am not aware so that I can consider them.

1. Immigration:  We are both U.S Citizens
2. Tax Benefits : We both make around 6 figures each, which means we don't get any tax reductions at all. I was surprised to learn that high income marriage was penalized in a way.
3. Health Insurance : We both are employed and have individual health insurances through our employer. They are both terrific plans.
4. Discount Insurance : We are both in our own families auto insurance so we are already discounted for now at least.
5. Inheritance : We will create a Will when we decide we need to, which is essentially the day we commit to each other for life.
6. Pension/Retirement : Since we both work, we would get little benefit in Social Security, especially since we make about the same. 401k I believe I can write a will or something that would be equivalent to giving her my retirement savings.
7. Visitations in jail : She better not make me use this
8. Medical decisions : I believe we can do a power of attorney doc or something that would give her control over me in these situations. And thinking about it, I am not sure this is a benefit until after a couple of decades pass. I believe my parents should be the ones responsible for me for the near future as they are pretty much the only people who will unconditionally love me and will always want whats best for me.
9. Other benefits : I have read other benefits like, married men make more, but that isn't a direct causation in my opinion. Or married men live longer, which can just be attributed to spending your life with the women you love.Something that can be done without marriage. Some may claim that I am scared of commitment, but I plan to have kids with this women, which to me is more of a commitment than marriage. I can divorce the following year if I wanted to and never see her again, with a kid, we are part of each others live forever.

These are some of the reasons I can think of on the top of my head. Please let me know if there are any I've missed. I primarily interested in ones that we cannot circumvent through some legal document and that are only accessible through marriage.

What about moving to another country. What if one of you gets an offer of a lifetime to work your dream job in <insert your favorite foreign country>. Would being married not aide you in following your partner to that country or vice versa?
