, this “status” has only been announced in 2018. (And not trying to make a snarky comment but the rest of the post doesn’t make sense as in what is the question?)

The Marriott FAQ is explicit on the renaming of status levels: "only the name has changed." A previous year at 75 night status is still counted as a year at 75 night status. Only the name has changed.
With that in mind, I think what the OP meant is clear. OP believes he had enough prior years at more than 75 nights each.
Of course, this confusion was predictable and entirely avoidable if the brain trust at Starriott had not reused the name "platinum." It's nice to see that they finally listened and are going to rename the level "titanium" but it's too late to avoid the confusion.
