You make some good points but a fair amount of this just you assuming things and asking questions.
Like while many found it obvious that Yutaka was imagining that scene, others however did not. You're right in that the author could have made that page clearer for people which would have prevented some of the confusion and issues several had with this chapter.
That legit doesn't matter here. This just feels like you're applying real world logic to a fictional story, when fiction doesn't need to conform to reality.
You're also assuming Senga sucking blood is sexual, which is plausible because as you pointed out, he only seems to be interested in getting the contact info of girls and not guys. But nothing concretely points to his intentions being sexual, and that's just you assuming this is the case atm. No different than if I was to answer one of your questions by saying that he mainly goes after human girls rather than other genjin girls because they seem easier to manipulate (considering he had a flock of human girls behind him in chapter one, but Ogami never reacted to his flirtatious behavior in ch. 1 or 3). Reasonable, but nothing so far can confirm that, which makes it just an assumption.
You also questioned why he only goes for Ogami's contact info in her class, and gave your own reason for why that was the case anyway when you said it was playing on the pretty boy popular guy trope (which I agree it was). In which case, it's a trope which gets partially subverted because we find out in this chapter (when we learn a little more about Senga) that he doesn't actually have any romantic affection for the girls he calls up, and he even has their blood types listed by their contact info. Meaning he has all these people in his contacts, for the purpose of just feeding. At least, that is the way the chapter presented it. Whether it holds any more meaning than that to him remains to be seen.
Why does he feed on humans if it can create drama? Maybe he doesn't give a damn about the drama that could arise from that because he's a douche? Which would make sense given he didn't care how that one girl cried after she learned he only saw her as a food source, and proceeded to call up another to feed off of. Senga wanting to drink blood to eat, and Senga being a douche about it is not mutually exclusive. And it also doesn't go against the logic of the story since nothing presented up to this point makes his actions contradictory so far.
Like they have a cafeteria, and you could logically assume they have some food for a genjin like a vampire. But Senga is seen wanting to feed off of other individuals. We don't know if he needs to do that or not. We don't know why he does that, rather than go to the cafeteria. Hell, we don't even know if he does or doesn't go to the cafeteria. We literally don't know enough about how he thinks to claim this is some inconsistency in logic with the story.
What makes Yutaka imagining Ogami blushing to having her neck bitten not make sense or an inconsistency to the logic of the story so far?
Most of what you're saying can't be answered or dismissed without knowing more about the story (since most of what you posted were questions and assumptions). I do think you finding this part of the story poorly written worldbuilding is understandable. But with the little of the story we know atm (being that it's only been 3 chapters), the claim that it's inconsistent with the logic of the world just isn't true with what we know so far.
