So the King's Gambit is objectively bad?

i have john shaw book i will refute what lines you tell. there is no and any refutation of kings gambit
fisher did not consider this variation nobody plays ng8 after sacrificing pawn 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 d6 4. d4 g5
5. h4 g4 6. Ng1
kings gambit is played once in every grandmasters lifetime it only works as a surprise
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 d6 4. d4 g5
5. g3 g4 6. Nh4 f3 this position is -0.3 according to engines and still white can afford innacuracies unless he plays engines. and most of my opponents are humans if black makes innacuracies game over
#34
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 d6 4. d4 g5
5. h4 g4 6. Ng1 Bh6 - Fischer
It is a very playable opening for amateurs IMO.
