I like the part where you're discussing imperial measurements and then give the length of your foot in centimeters.

TLDR; practically all occurences of feet have been defined as “there are x feet in [much larger unit]” which makes sense, as it results in a much more precise definition. At that point the definition is not someone's foot or even an average foot, but much more "about a foot length, and this is how it's defined"

Similarly you will notice that the inch (in many languages referred to as a “thumb” is also not really the length of a thumb.

I never said about lenght of my foot. 30.48cm is how long a foot(unit) is.

Well since the foot(unit) was the length of Charlemagne's foot, his foot was a foot long.
