In addition to what I said above … Since it makes no real sense to you that Isa (AS) is honoured and not Muhammad (SAW) then why do you interpret the word mutawaffeeka to mean spiritual raising? For sure to be spiritually raised does not mean saved from death but still beaten to a pulp. It has to take the meaning of being protected from dishonour … i.e. he was honoured … however as you rightly say all the prophets were more or less dishonoured and Isa (AS) is probably the most maligned. To this day Jews accuse his mother and Christians dishonour him by workshipping him. So how can mutawaffeka mean anything other than physically raised?

Mutawafeka means ‘I will cause you to die’ while ‘rafa a illalah’ means raising of status before God. rafa has been used after mutawafeeka so it means raising status in the after life. Jews wanted to condemn him as a false prophet but Allah raised him in status. false prophet don’t get such a treatment.

You guys usually translate mutawafeeka as ‘gather thee’, ‘take thee’ etc.
'Tawafi and its forms have been used about 25 times in Quran. 23 times, it only meant death or ‘Qabz-e-rooh’ but for two verses for Isa (as), new meaning were drafted. why?
