Well, you can't overthrow a government with a piece of cloth. So I still don't see how it could be called an insurrection.

Just because you suck at doing something doesn't change what you're attempting to do. They were there to execute elected officials and attempt to stop required processes in the belief that would invalidate an election they lost.

Sounds like an insurrection to me.

Just because someone on your side gets shot doesn't suddenly put you in the right. While one insurrectionist was killed. The insurrectionists managed to injure 138 officers, capital and metro, 15 of them severely, who were there to defend the Capitol from them.

I would argue the insurrectionists got off relatively lightly. One person was killed and the ones jailed all got far lighter sentences than they deserved.

Which part of "they were there to execute government officials" are you failing to understand?

I don't always agree with the government, but I also don't decide to murder people just because I'm upset, which is what the insurrectionists intended to do.
