The cross is a symbol of Roman brutality.

We Christians worship the one true God, not an image, symbol, or other earthly thing.

The cross isn't merely an earthly thing.

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

Point taken, yes. Sacrificing oneself is only part of the equation. We must also follow Him, which encompasses far more than what the cross represents.

You could have just stopped at point taken.
