When talking to bhikkhus it was supermundane dhamma as taught here:

The birth, death etc in this is the birth and death of dependent origination, the birth and death of the sense of self, about dukkha. This is in accord with the buddhas supermundane dhamma which was about emptiness and quenching of dukkha.
The fact that the buddha teaches rebirth when talking to a student of another sect can be shown here:

It is a teaching in rebirth and morality, mundane not connected with nibbana
There are many others these are just examples.
Forgive me for not copying and pasting but i felt they were to large.
If you really have transcended views through insight I rejoice in your merit. However, your posts give the impression that you are clinging rather tightly to a particular view...
Thank you friend but sadly i am not an arahant and have not transcended all view i freely admit this.
I do not cling to my view however, i used to hold rebirth and i did cling to it however through practice i have realised that it is a mundane teaching, you cannot deny that the buddha taught it is a view with effluents and that supermundane view does not include it.
It does not include it because it is connected with emptiness, there is no "I" or "me" to be reborn there is only birth through contact.
I disagree with the commentaries because from what i have read they place rebirth as central, as supermundane. They also teach re-linking but you know my view reguarding that so i wont go into that here.
As stated I dont deny that the buddha taught rebirth, but it was mundane and needs to be seen as a view with an error. Buddhists these days take it as central and cling all the more to it.
Further, could you please provide analysis of the Tipitaka and commentaries by credible scholars and textual historians that support your argument.
I dont go by historians and scholars I go by my understanding through experience and also through the teachings of the Ajahns. Buddhadasa covers it quite well here

He covers the true understanding of the higherdhamma teaching of anatta and rebirth.
If not, can you please reference the original source of your argument
Right view of rebirth is a view with effluents
Supermundane view is a view without effluents
Supermundane view does not include view of rebirth
Supermundane includes teachings on emptiness, there is no rebirth because there is no "i" to be reborn
I hold it is dangerous to hold rebirth because it is mundane, therefore it does not lead one to nibbana
