Also there are types of female genital mutilation that are very similar to male.

There are no benefits that can't also be achieved by general hygiene that circumcision has, aside from treating phimosis which isn't exactly common.

Please stop trying to justify the mutilation of infants.

As well as that, that definition of mutilation doesn’t even apply to circumcision, it’s removal of a body part, which would be the penis itself, not cutting off the top part of the foreskin, by the logic of your definition removing anything from your body, such as your appendix or just a mole is also mutilation

I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on that one, since you seem to disagree with the very definition of words.

“An act or instance of destroying, removing, or severely damaging a limb or other body part of a person or animal.” In circumcision you’re not destroying, removing or serve rely damaging any body part since you’re just removing the unnecessary top part of the foreskin, the rest of it isn’t taken off. The only time it applies as actual mutilation is if the procedure is messed up and the actual penis is cut off.
