You say our claim that "US Government to end daily COVID death reporting" is false.
Because the CDC will continue to archive death stats, with a delay of days to weeks. But CDC reporting is not DAILY. It is at the frequency states report.1/

The majority of states do not report EVERY day; many report once per week, and are reducing frequency.

Say you hire me to shovel your driveway every day it snows. Last month I did it every day. I did it "daily." This month I do it once a week. I stopped doing it "daily."

You'd be right to want your money back. I couldn't tell a judge, "I still shoveled the snow daily, since all the snow was gone by the end of the week."

HHS reporting was DAILY. CDC reporting is NOT. You also leave out the critical context: The remaining dataset is rapidly being reduced in frequency all over the country.

Finally, the claim that the HHS dataset is redundant is false. Please see the comments by a federal official here on their significance

The move in the US to cut the frequency of reporting is clearly part of a trend, as evidenced by the moves by the UK and the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.
