Would you quote me that I said that there is more than one God? You have about 8 or so years of material to draw from here.
And, if it is OK for you to call me a polytheist, then it is okay for me to call you a Unitarian?

As already referenced:
Zec.2:3 tells us explicitly that it was an angel speaking for God. Also, many scholars feel that the one "sent" here was actually "the angel of the LORD/Jehovah." The Hebrew scholars Keil and Delitzsch state:
"[In vs8] The sender is Jehovah, and the person sent is not the prophet, but the angel of the Lord....The speake ...[text shortened]... means of His representatives, not because He literally will live on earth (1Ki 8:27; 2Ch 2:6).'
So, Hebrew scholars recognize that Jehovah did not send Jehovah, but Jehovah sent His representative who speaks for Him. Jehovah "resides" with humans by means of His representatives, not because He literally will live on earth (1Ki 8:27; 2Ch 2:6).'
" But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the heaven of heavens are not able to contain You, how much less this house which I have built."
"Thus says Jehovah;
Heaven is my throne, And the earth the footstool for My feet.
Where is the house that you will build for Me, and where is the place of My rest?
For so all these things My hand has made, And so all these have come into being, declares Jehovah.
But to this kind of man will I look to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at My word." (Isaiah 66:1,2)
"But to this kind of man will I look, to him who is poor And of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at My word."
" Then Jehovah will go forth and fight against those nations as when He fights in the day of battle.
And His feet will stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; ..."
"The Jews then answered and said to Him, What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?
Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Then the Jews said, This temple was built in forty-six years, and You will raise it up in three days?
But He spoke of the temple of His body. " (John 2:18-21)

Your OP, claims that one of them sent one of the others.
It’s polytheism.
" ... understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed. Neither will there be any after Me.
I, even I, am Jehovah, And there is no Savior besides Me." (See Isaiah 43:10,11)
" I am sending an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
Be careful before Him, and listen to His voice, do not rebel against Him, for He will not pardon your transgression, for My name is in Him." (Exo. 23:20,21)
"But if you will indeed listen to His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. For My Angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites, etc. etc. " (vs.22,23)

No, it is a window into tri-unity, a great mystery.

3 is not 1
#1 sends #2

Ploythesism, and not amount of html, copy/pasting, obscure scriptures and twisting the word of god will make it true. It is man made error sonship, it’s obviously so.

Colossians 2 Lexham English Bible (LEB)[my bolding]
Christ, the Mystery of God
2 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have on behalf of you, and those in Laodicea, and all those who have not seen my face in person[a], 2 so that their hearts may be encouraged, united in love and into all the wealth of the full assurance of insight into the knowledge of the mystery of God, Christ, 3 in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden. 4 I say this in order that no one will deceive you with persuasive speech, 5 for even if I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ

Hear oh Israel... THE LORD YOUR GOD IS ONE
Not three ... ONE!
"Jehovah, hear my prayer; and let my cry come unto You. Do not hide Your face from me on the day of my distress." (Psa. 102:1,2)
