Nope. YOU have imposed specific units onto the formula/equation. The

Yes, of course. Good point. Similarly, any result that depends on
choice of coordinates is unphysical.

Because velocity is 'relative' (relative in respect to what you regard

Since the used coordinate system defines 'stationary', you need a
coordinate system for kinetic energy and that for practically everything

When I hear "unphysical" I think it means "in the mathematical

The dimensional analysis and attachment to geometry and

Dimensional analysis has nothing to do with physics.
Dimensions are man-made conventions.
Nothing would change if the whole concept had never been invented.

Things like "negative time" and "anti-deSitter space" are
unphysical, as are the non-real parts of complex analysis,
usually, though for example if you consider the Cartanian
as essentially different from the Gaussian-Eulerian,
complex analysis, then the Majorana spinor makes an
example of a detectable observable, though, one might
aver that that's its real part, in the hypercomplex.

Conservation laws do no depend on units and dimensions in any way.

The, "dimensionless", when a usual sort of "dimensional analysis"
is the Buckingham-Pi approach, is a detachment of sorts from
the "dimensional analysis".

Yes, standard dimensional analysis,
