Are the Cosmological Arguments logically sound?

Arguments
"Argument 1: Motion
- Wrong, since Thing A could have always been moving on its own. The first Newton's law states that bodies continue motion on their own for the lack of external forces - hence nothing is needed for Thing A to move. Not to mention that motion is relative, and there is always a frame of reference in which a given object is in motion.
Finally, there is nothing wrong with infinite regress, and it does not have to be avoided.
"Argument 2: Causation
- Same: infinite regress may very well be the case.
"Argument 3: Contingency
- Same with regards to infinite regress again. It is also not clear why "this necessary thing is God"; it does not have to be God, unless we define it as God, but in that case the concept of "God" becomes very vague.
- "Perfection" is a human-made concept. It is not an inherent part of nature, and us having this concept poses absolutely no constraints on the world around us.
In addition, there could very well be nothing perfect: different degrees of perfection do not assume the existence of absolute perfection, just like different temperatures do not assume the existence of some "perfect temperature".
