I'm already watched all the time because I carry a cellphone, use credit

an embedded RFID chip yet, but my car keys and building lobby door key fob
do.  Excluding video, photo images, email messages, and server log
entries, I bet I generate 100K bytes of new data in databases everyday.

Hmm, should I be worried about all this tracking?

Not until they start billing you for the data storage.
