Exactly. So you prove nothing. However, Einstein's postulate is
"light is always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity
c which is independent of the state of motion of the emitting body"
Reference :

The Earth is moving in the empty space, which is the reference
frame.
Are you trying to deliberately obfuscate the problem?
Empty space doesn't have a particular reference frame in Einstein's
theory.
Then light will be source dependent.
Androcles.
Nope, not according to the laws of electromagnetism.
Which one? Gauss, Faraday or Ampere?
Androcles.
