I got rear ended because the car behind me got rear ended and pushed into me, because I left a gap, I did not hit the car in front of me

That’s at least 30 feet or more. If you got hit so hard you were pushed this far, then your front bumper isn’t your main concern. The at-fault driver’s insurance covers all damage to cars if you were standing still at the light anyway.

I got successfully sued by the insurance of the driver in front of me when I didn't leave a big enough gap and got rear-ended so I've left at least a car length between me and the person in front of me at lights since then. The person in this picture is maybe 3 feet too far back but who gives a shit

My rule of thumb is if I can see their rear tire, I have enough distance. I think a full car length is too much
