Welcome to osm! Regarding the "remove existing as final step": we generally
expect people to conflate new data with existing data, so you should not
remove the existing ones, but enrich them (including position acuracy if
possible) with your data, and only create new objects for things that
weren't mapped before.

If you haven't yet, read the guidance for automated edits
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_edits and follow the import
guidelines https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines

Cheers,
Martin
