That's because existence and essence are separate. This is exactly my point: Existence is NOT a property. "What is X?" and "Whatever "X" that we conceive of supposedly is, does it actually exist?" are two separate questions.
Rather than restating your objection, which I obviously fully understand, please address my concern about different kinds of objects that have nothing else in common except their existence.
