Because you are excluded all other possibilities for consciousness. Just because you can make a brain without consciousness, even with all of the proper neural codes, does not automatically mean that consciousness is separate from the brain.
If consciousness is indeed separate from the brain then you should be able to demonstrate it in the absence of a brain.
It is just like trying to explain the origin of life on earth. Just because you prove that A didn't happen, it does not automatically mean that B is the answer. Here on the forum, we call that a "god of the gaps" argument.
So, until you can demonstrate consciousness without a brain, you are making completely baseless assertions which are not supported by your "evidence".
