I've travelled as a status passenger and had another DYKWIA SE pull my bag out of the J bin, toss it on the floor and say his was more important. He nearly was booted off the plane.

If it's not a listed perk, no your bag is not more important than any other passengers unless it's a class of service or perk of your status.
AC doesn't list upgrade priority anywhere. Does that mean an SE shouldn't expect to be upgraded ahead of a 25K? They don't list meal priority anywhere, so should meal orders just be taken based on where people are sitting?

There's a difference between the childish behaviour you're describing and expecting a bit of leeway.
