How can I politely fire my agent?

My real estate agent only showed me one house. A house we lost, because she spammed the seller’s agent with calls requesting to know the bid amounts, which ultimately led to my real estate agent getting blocked and us not being able to submit a bid. Before this she referred us to a lender. This lender never sent us our pre-approval and sent it only to our agent. After not hearing any updates from the lender on my approval status and no response. I finally sent the lender a message asking if we are still working with him or if we need a new lender. He then promptly responded and said he sent her the letter a week prior and didn’t CC me. It seems like my agent was hiding my pre-approval so that I wouldn’t run off anywhere without her. During the house search she told us to look for homes on our own and report back if we like anything. A month ago we finally found a new construction home and informed her about it. She became a bit upset, because apparently she had to come with us to the first viewing for a new construction to receive commission (a policy I was unaware of when she sent us away on our search). I informed her yesterday that I am going to proceed with the new construction home and thanked her for her time. I guess she didn’t understand that I am working without her now that I cannot use her. According to the builder’s policy an agent must be present on the first visit. Now she’s trying to force herself in. Something I fear could cost me a second house to lose thanks to her spamming. How can I respond to her? Here’s our conversation:

Me: Hi, we just got a call that the plot we wanted is available for the new construction that I told you about a few weeks ago. I think we are going to go with that. If something changes we will let you know. Thank you for all your help.

Agent: “Ok. I’ll go with you. And let them know I’m your realtor. Does that work?”

Me: “We asked them about using you as our agent, but they said you should of accompanied us on the first visit. This was a few weeks ago when I didn't know you had to come with us. Back when you told us we could see the homes ourselves.”

Her: “I understand. I worked in new Construction and know how they can make exception. I can call them if you give me name and number of your contact person. Thx.”

How can I politely tell her I don’t want to work with her?

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
