I see you cite no examples to support your assertions which as usual are no more than baseless statements.

Then tell me; how can this process in any shape or form be more akin to patent than to copyright when there is no investigation for novelty ? when there is no requirement for originality?

The US design patent is much stricter in every single aspect. Where the US design patent tries to breach the gap between copyright and patents and restrain from reaching into both, the RCD includes everything you can think of that is not applicable for a patent. Hence, the RCD is simply a bureaucratic form of copyright, it's useless.
