But anyway, like I said, even if imagination is a product of a physical world which is a figment of imagination, that's no reason to assume imagination also is a figment of imagination.

By this point you're "imagination" is so fragmentary it's nonexistant. There is reasonable evidence that even the unconcsious mind, let alone the concious is so much a product of our environment that it's ridiculous. Sure you can go back further than nthe unconcsious but it's pretty meaningless by that stage and just handwaving.

Can you disprove that, while the human race is growing, we are getting less intelligent as a whole?

15) All studies which have monitored IQ over time show that it increases. That theory out and out ignores the actual numbers. Also Heighetened medicines (alongside nutrition) lead to increased intelligence due to healthier brains. Also genetic factors in intelligence are laughably small.
Also IQ is a terrible indicator of intelligence.
