You indeed never claimed such, and your numbers should tell a good story ... the one you refuse to see and tell, so I'll ask for some pointed stats.
1. What is the percentage of forks / empty blocks?
2. What is the percentage of forks / all blocks?
3. What is the percentage of forks / empty blocks in a timespan of the highest concentration of forks (in which timespan at least 2000 blocks have been mined)?
4. What is the percentage of forks / all blocks in a timespan of the highest concentration of forks (in which timespan at least 2000 blocks have been mined)?

The answer to all of those is bound to be in fractions of a percentage; extrapolations will without doubt yield similar results, meaning the likelihood of forks happening due to empty block mining is statistically negligible, and that will be true for a very long time.

So if you base your argument of empty block mining being detrimental due to the evil that is forking, which said forking's occurence is statistically negligible, you may have an agenda but you definitely have no point.
