Are you saying that this is not saying that angels mated with women and had offspring?
Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.

Again you lack a correct biblical perspective and content in your posts.
Dogs do not mate with cats because they are not in rebellion to God's created order.
HOWEVER.....fallen angels AND fallen women WERE! The context here is inescapable. As are the specific Greek terms.
Altogether they mean only one thing. Fallen angels unlawfully mating with human women because of their evil lust.
Jde 1:6
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, G3613 he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Jde 1:7
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Evidently the Jude 1:6 angels took a downgrade (to satisfy their ungodly lust), while we Christians are gifted with an upgrade.
G3613 - oikētērion - Strong's Greek Lexicon (kjv) (blueletterbible.org)
The KJV translates Strong's G3613 in the following manner: house (1x), habitation (1x).
Outline of Biblical Usage [?]
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, G3613 he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
2Co 5:2
For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house G3613 which is from heaven:

You are hanging your entire interpretation on Genesis 1 but Genesis 1 doesn't say what you are trying to make it say. It says they brought forth after their kind. But Genesis 6 is about as clear as you can be that these offspring are not after their kind. Nephilim are not after the kind of humans. Goliath is not after the kind of humans. Og was 9 cubits tall, that is not human. So these offspring of the daughters of men were not after our kind.
