Thanks for making my point. In every one of these school shootings the
gun was traced back to the shooter or the shooter's family and they
all had passed background checks.

And the fact that they could be traced is a good thing.

How so? How would the outcome be any different if the guns were untraceable?

It wouldn't in that case. But in the case of a murder or homicide the
ability to trace ownership may help lead to the person responsible.

Only if the weapon is recovered. And it could point the finger at an innocent person that had the gun stolen or otherwise removed from their custody before the event.

Raises another question. Ever wonder why a new gun comes with a spent
shell in the box or case?

To test functionality. And/Or, to build a database of gun "fingerprints", i.e. bullet striations. That info, along with registration, can lead back to the owner.

I suspect the latter.
