I have ridden with large groups of riders, where blocking traffic did take place.

Here is a perspective on group riding.

So what is the difference between your "group" and just a large number of cars wanting to do the same thing? Every ramp and merging process you show happens everyday in heavy traffic areas and the "cagers" deal with it on an individual basis. I guarantee you that if a group of drivers decided that it was "safer" to block an intersection so they could all go through it against cross traffic and you were on a bike being blocked you would blow a gasket. You do not have the right to do any of this, unless Law Enforcement is providing the blocking service to you. And the funeral excuse is nothing more than self justification for the bad selfish behavior. It's bull@#$%T!!
