It's clear God in heaven isn't flesh and blood as Isaiah 40:18,25; 46:5, lays out as well. That's why Jesus quoted it.
As I said I do not disagree that God is Spirit and not flesh. But that is not what the passage states.
That is the message. Jesus isn't God, nor the Father in any sense, nor in heaven.
Be my guest. Dissect the verse and show us where in the text it states this.
17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’ ”
There's zero difference in meaning with what he said.
Your God, My God, Your Father, My Father. He never said Our Father or Our God. = Never included Himself in the 'Our".
Carries a tremendous amount of meaning.
The problem is that in the Hebrew "et" should be translated as "with". They should look to me with whom they pierced. Isaiah already proved about YHWH doesn't have flesh, blood, nor is a man.
You have the wrong version of et. its not a conjunction.

An untranslated particle in Hebrew often described in grammars (somewhat superficially)
as the sign of the direct object after a transitive verb. Its origin is unknown. The prevailing view is that ʾēt was originally a noun meaning “essence, substance, self,” a significance which it subsequently lost in the historical development of the language. Hamilton, V. P. (1999).
186 אֵת. In R. L. Harris, G. L. Archer Jr., & B. K. Waltke (Eds.), Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament (electronic ed., p. 83). Moody Press.
In the verse Et is an object marker.
Et only appears before definite direct objects.
Et never separated from its direct object by other words
Et does not appear before indirect objects
Could translate as
Look towards me 'to' whom
Look towards me 'the one' whom
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
And I shall pour on him of the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem The Spirit of cherishing and of loves and they shall gaze upon me,
The One whom they pierced through, and they shall wail over him like they wail over an only child, and they shall be broken over him as they are broken over a first born
Good News Translation
"I will fill the descendants of David and the other people of Jerusalem with the spirit of mercy and the spirit of prayer. They will look at
the one whom they stabbed to death, and they will mourn for him like those who mourn for an only child. They will mourn bitterly, like those who have lost their first-born son.
International Standard Version
I will pour out on the house of David and on the residents of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and of supplications, and they will look to me—
the one whom they pierced.'" Then they will mourn for him, as for an only son. They will grieve bitterly for him, as for a firstborn son.
New Revised Standard Version
And I will pour out a spirit of compassion and supplication on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that, when they look on
the one whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.
.YHWH can't be pierced. He has no flesh nor physicality to speak of. BTW, this piggybacks Psalm 22 which Christians love to quote and it's clear there that God and the person "pierced" are not the same person nor the same God.
Jesus is God along with the Father and HS. As a Spirit it is clear Jesus cannot be pierced. But after taking on human form He can. Your god is somehow limited to what is He revealed about Himself in the Bible. My God is omnipotent and is able to create a body and abide in it, and somehow be fully God and fully man. So there is no impossibility that this could have happened.
As to Ps 22 place your argument.
