It's the wrong way around. It's like saying: "Let's cut your breasts off, because you might get breast cancer." It does not justify cutting healthy ones.
By the way: most of these diseases are remediable by other means.
You said "It is also medically unnecessary". But that's not true as it IS medically necessary sometimes. Neither you or the OP said anything limiting the question to routine infant circumcision.
"most of these diseases are remediable by other means"
Sometimes and if you read the source it does say that. The patient can also choose circumcision as treatment if that's what they'd rather do.
IIN to surgically mutilate male sexual organs?
