And you're completely ignoring your visibility to the drivers of cars entering the highway from the sides.

They'll see you a whole lot better if you're out in the lane because they're not even looking along the edge of the road.

And as has already been pointed out, cyclists don't block traffic - any more than drivers of cars block traffic.
