Our measurement of the light is made before it gets deflected.
Therefore, the very nature of our parallax measurements remove the effect of gravitational lensing from those measurements.
According to this paper by Clowe and others, there is no possible way your hypothesis could account for dark matter related observations in the bullet cluster with an 8 sigma significance:

But, I believe that this is actually a fairly solid hypothesis that could account for the "Missing Mass" of the galaxy... that being our incorrect calculations of the density of the galaxy, by seeing stars and such as farther away than they actually are.
If this paper is accurate and I really haven't seen it disputed (though I haven't looked that hard), there's no way what you say could explain this observation.
An 8-sigma significance spatial offset of the center of the total mass from the center of the baryonic mass peaks cannot be explained with an alteration of the gravitational force law, and thus proves that the majority of the matter in the system is unseen.
So did the physicists give you any feedback? I can give you some.

Once all visible matter has been converted to dark matter and Hawking radiation, the black hole will decay as it cannot feed on dark matter since it lacks electromagnetic radiation.
Needless to say with a black hole the size of a car giving off 200 times more radiation than the sun, it wouldn't be that hard to spot, and we've looked for these signatures and can conclude that if such small black holes exist, they are extremely sparse and would not account for dark matter observations.
A stellar black hole of one solar mass has a Hawking temperature of about 100 nanokelvins. This is far less than the 2.7 K temperature of the cosmic microwave background. Stellar mass (and larger) black holes receive more mass from the cosmic microwave background than they emit through Hawking radiation and will thus grow instead of shrink. To have a Hawking temperature larger than 2.7 K (and be able to evaporate), a black hole needs to be lighter than the Moon (and therefore a diameter of less than a tenth of a millimeter).[83]
On the other hand, if a black hole is very small the radiation effects are expected to become very strong. Even a black hole that is heavy compared to a human would evaporate in an instant. A black hole the weight of a car (~10−24 m) would only take a nanosecond to evaporate, during which time it would briefly have a luminosity more than 200 times that of the sun.
Yes but we still have the inverse square law. The farther from the center of mass the less force and the greater the circumference. This means objects on the outer edge of a galaxy are moving faster than objects closer to the center. Where is this extra force coming from, surely not from the center of mass/galaxy?
It also increases the galaxy's angular momentum, which affects its rotation.
I think you're going to need to expand on this further. I fail to see how any amount of mass would cement all of the stars in the galaxy together. Most of the galaxy acts like a ridged wheel as though all stars have a physical connection. Gravity alone does not do this no matter how much there is. It is as though the explanation suggests that dark matter defies gravitational attraction from the center yet uses gravitational attraction to explain galactic rotations.
sort of like cosmic cement holding all of the visible matter together. This accounts for the "single unit" rotation.

What would externally induce galactic rotation?
