Did you miss the part where I did mention that chemical rockets are not suitable for this. I understand why we haven’t. What I don’t understand is why we aren’t working on it. We are working on making it to Alpha Centari and Mars asap but can’t clean up our neighborhood.

I just explained why? It's ridiculously impractical and a waste of time and resources. We are working on solutions to the space debris problem. It is a serious concern for future space exploration. But sending that debris to another planet is not a proposed solution for obvious reasons.
