You are wrong on many counts.
For the strengths of the armies in the Peninsula, see Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, Volume II, pages 313-317 for the strengths of the Seven Days; pages 218-219 for Seven Pines.
Seven Pines:
Union: 14,000 engaged out of a strength of 93,008.
Confederate: 16,600.
Seven Days:
Union: 105,445.
Confederate: Between 80,000 and 90,000.

McClellan was wrong (again); Lincoln was correct in ordering him out of the Peninsula because it was a failure and eventually in relieving him.
From The West Point Atlas of American Wars, Volume I, Map 47:
'In the campaign, Lee had preserved Richmond and had put his opponent to flight. But the Union army, though somewhat demoralized, remained strong. Under a more energetic and confident commander, it could have again advanced on Richmond. Instead, it remained at Harrison's Landing until August, when it was recalled to the Washington area.'
