It makes no sense what you are saying. No statistics against minor league or college or whatever level are being included. Why do you waste that much time saying the same thing over and over and over. I mean, seriously, your comments are stupid and make no sense. Everyone with half a brain knows what is being included, though apparently you do not.
I get it, you're not even from the United States, you formed opinions based on what you read and who knows what your read or where it came from. This was a different time period. Do you not understand that? In the early days of professional baseball, all teams did the same thing. Barnstorming was a way of life, you made money, that was what kept your team afloat. The Negro Leagues did not have the same established protocols because they were starting from scratch, trying to get to the level of the white major leagues. They had to resort to that because they were not allowed to play, not because they weren't good enough. The statistics and impact they made once they were allowed are fact. They were not allowed to play because that would mean white players would be out of the league. Zero sum game. Fact.

Oh, and games against non-professional teams don't count for standings or stats. You know, the basics. Or maybe you don't know the basics.
Honest answer please: if the Yankees today went on a California college tour in November and Judge and Stanton each hit 15 dingers against what's probably single-A level pitching, and MLB decreed, yup, those go onto your official career totals - would that feel right to you?
Yes? How about a 17-year-old high school junior wearing braces in the middle of Alabama?
