Correct, Washington joining 13 virgin spirits representing the 13 states is unduly Freemasonic. Some other deifications are visible, and in the larger rotunda art there's some appropriation of Native paganism too into the "American" narrative.
The church teaches theosis, not apotheosis.
The 72 names are no problem, it's that people treat them like names of powers other than God, just like they treat the names of our united states. It's not "synagogue of satan" as if that means Judaism, it's a group of "theist" Masons trying to get people away from Christianity. George probably never gave them what they wanted but he did permit himself to be diplomatic with them, and so they "repay" him by remembering him in ways he wouldn't have approved. Compare the statue of Washington as Zeus (let me know if I need to link that).

Doesn't holding onto correct over incorrect ignore apo (change) theos (god)?
Never seen that statue before, wild, very weird.
