Rider weight, power and W/kg are all intertwined.
I perfectly understand W/Kg.
You are ignoring reality, this isnt a mathematical paper exercise.
Real men and women have different weights , power and W/kg, but they fall into categories of sprinter, climber, rouleur etc.
The steeper the gradient has a greater drag on heavier riders.
Eg Chris Froome, who is a superb climber one of the worlds best, but overall he thrives on longer less steep alpine climbs where his greater power benefits him. However on a really steep climbs Froome does get dropped by super lightweight riders.

I suggest you watch a few varied races and see which riders win.
Have a few races within Zwift, race in events which dont suit your talents and see where you finish.
