For u maybe not

But for others, i dare not speak
For example, (for example, please), Buddha reminded his disciples not to worship him because he is not god. Instead they should practise his teaching instead.

Nowadays u see so many idolatry and people misled into building gold statues and huge monuments and grand temples etc

It would be a mockery of the teaching of the great teacher

Similarly, the golden calf was worshipped during moses' absence.

So, to eliminate any recurrence, it is better to just appreciate the scenery of the god-made vast sea without the man-made eagle there.

the statue is not for worship in buddhism but just pure respecting by bowing and kneeling infront of the statue.
