My brother, I would be very careful when using the term "only makrooh" as makrooh means reprehensible. A reprehensible act done with impunity and as habit will raise the severity of the sin.

May Allah Ta'ala forgive us all and keep you and family in aafiyah.

Nope, makruh in this context means one is rewarded for leaving it, but not punished for doing it. There is no such shafi'i ruling saying to do perform makruh actions repeatedly 'raises the severity of the sin' - in fact, it's not a sin to begin with, let alone raising its severity.

If you can show me a reliable text to the contrary, I'll be glad to change my position.
