Interpretation of P value

A similar question was asked a few months ago. You might benefit from reading my post in this thread, and studying the paper I linked to.

Suffice it to say – you are right. I will borrow a quote from Sander Greenland

Blockquote
“Statistics made easy is code for statistics done wrong.”

I prefer to think of low p-values as “sufficiently surprising” if there is no effect.

This is also a good thread, that discusses the correct and unambiguous description of frequentist results.
