Most of the "restrictions" you listed don't exist as a difference
between sport pilot and private pilot.

So once again you are just babbling.


FAR 61.315

What are the privileges and limits of my sport pilot certificate?

(a) If you hold a sport pilot certificate you may act as pilot in command of a
light-sport aircraft, except as specified in paragraph (c) of this section.

(b) You may share the operating expenses of a flight with a passenger,
provided the expenses involve only fuel, oil, airport expenses, or aircraft
rental fees. You must pay at least half the operating expenses of the flight.

(c) You may not act as pilot in command of a light-sport aircraft:

(1) That is carrying a passenger or property for compensation or hire.
(2) For compensation or hire.
(3) In furtherance of a business.
(4) While carrying more than one passenger.
(5) At night.
(6) In Class A airspace.
(7) In Class B, C, and D airspace, at an airport located in Class B, C,
or D airspace, and to, from, through, or at an airport having an
operational control tower unless you have met the requirements
specified in §61.325.
(8) Outside the United States, unless you have prior authorization
from the country in which you seek to operate. Your sport pilot
certificate carries the limit "Holder does not meet ICAO requirements."
(9) To demonstrate the aircraft in flight to a prospective buyer
if you are an aircraft salesperson.
(10) In a passenger-carrying airlift sponsored by a charitable organization.
(11) At an altitude of more than 10,000 feet MSL or 2,000 feet AGL, whichever
is higher.
(12) When the flight or surface visibility is less than 3 statute miles.
(13) Without visual reference to the surface.
(14) If the aircraft has:
(i) Has a VH greater than 87 knots CAS, unless you have met the
requirements of Sec. 61.327(b).
(ii) Has a VH less than or equal to 87 knots CAS, unless you have
met the requirements of Sec. 61.327(a) or have logged flight
time as pilot in command of an airplane with a VH less than
or equal to 87 knots CAS before April 2, 2010.]
(15) Contrary to any operating limitation placed on the airworthiness
certificate of the aircraft being flown.
(16) Contrary to any limit on your pilot certificate or airman medical
certificate, or any other limit or endorsement from an authorized
instructor.
(17) Contrary to any restriction or limitation on your U.S. driver's
license or any restriction or limitation imposed by judicial or
administrative order when using your driver's license to satisfy
a requirement of this part.
(18) While towing any object.
(19) As a pilot flight crewmember on any aircraft for which more than
one pilot is required by the type certificate of the aircraft or
the regulations under which the flight is conducted.

As you can see, the list of restrictions is quite long.
