Sometimes I really wonder what your problem is.
Have you ever used one of the cloud services from one of Kobo’s competitors, e.g. Amazon, Tolino, Pocketbook. They are all the same: Want to upload a book? Go ahead. Want to sideload? Just do that. Do sideloaded upload to the cloud automatically? Never (except in Pocketbook’s case *when* you enable that setting)!
I really don’t see you that is something that needs discussion. There is no causal link between offering cloud services and invading your privacy. It’s like saying that when you install Dropbox on your computer, they automatically know everything about every file on your computer (hint: they know only about files that you upload by moving them into your Dropbox folder).
The lack of offer such a service on Kobos is a missing feature plain and simple (but perhaps forgivable considering that they haven’t even managed syncing of annotations made in bought books). And a feature that most every major competitor offers (and people who do not want to use it just don’t have to).
