I agree on the last point. I've even written directly on it, imagining what it would be like to be the supreme being. I think God would sooner go mad than be bored.

I'm not sure you quite grasp Kant's transcendental idealism. He doesn't say there's no such thing as knowledge. It's a question of how knowledge should be philosophically interpreted, and what exactly is the object of our knowledge.

The principle is somewhat self-denying in that it makes all knowledge partly subjective in reflecting the cognitive tools we bring to bear. I've written about this in the first three links below.
