ᐅ Did I forget something with the first drywall partition?

I want to build two drywall partitions myself in the basement of our new house. I have selected a thickness of 50mm (2 inches), but it can be increased to 75mm (3 inches) or 100mm (4 inches). Since the walls are only for room separation, 50mm (2 inches) should be sufficient.
The wall should be 2.6m (8.5 ft) high and 6m (19.7 ft) long including the door.
Currently, I find the number of 21 CW steel studs to be quite high. Other drywall calculators suggest 7-10.
Item: Quantity
Construction board (2,000 x 600 x 12.5 mm) 21
CW steel stud (2,600 x 50 x 50 mm) 21
UW track profile (2,000 x 50 x 40 mm, steel) 7
White acrylic sealant 300 ml (10 fl oz) 5
One-sided adhesive sealing tape 50 mm (2 inches), 30 m (98 ft) 1
Expansion plug K6/35 (35 mm, 50 pcs) 1
Drywall screws (diameter: 3.9 mm, length: 25 mm, countersunk head, fine thread, 1,000 pcs) 1
Partition wall boards / insulation material (1,250 x 625 x 40 mm) 3
Joint filler (25 kg, light gray) 1
Drywall screws (diameter: 3.5 mm, length: 25 mm, fine thread, 1,000 pcs) 1
Door jamb bracket (50 x 130 x 135 mm, 4 pcs) 1
Lintel profile (1,600 x 50 x 40 mm) 1
Reinforcement profile UA (2,600 x 50 x 40 mm, steel) 2
Door frame (860 x 1,985 mm, DIN hinge: left/right, plain white, wall thickness: 80 mm) 1
Interior door (860 x 1,985 mm, DIN hinge: left, plain white, honeycomb core) 1

I wouldn’t rely solely on configurators but rather watch videos. Search for “drywall” and you’ll find everything clearly explained. I don’t understand why a door shouldn’t be installed with double layers of 12.5mm (0.5 inch) plasterboard.
As Neige already mentioned: don’t forget soundproofing decoupling!
Drywall installation is really not difficult if you keep a few basics in mind and allow yourself some time.

Isn’t the sealing tape supposed to be used on the profiles? With the panels, you don’t start directly at the floor but a few millimeters (inches) above it and fill the gap with silicone, right?
@One00
I will definitely do that.
Now I basically have four options.
21 CW profiles for vertical boarding
10 CW profiles for horizontal boarding
And both in double boarding (in each case once horizontal and once vertical).
The most solid wall would be built with 21 CW profiles 100mm (4 inches), horizontal OSB boarding, and vertical gypsum board (GKB) boarding on top, each 12.5mm (0.5 inches) thick. For a simple room partition, this is certainly over the top. I’ll have to find a reasonable middle ground here.

Correct, the tape is intended for decoupling.
For grouting, use the Power-Elast recommended by Knauf. It can be painted over.
To get an overview regarding the door opening, take a look at DIN 18101. If you follow it, everything will fit.
When constructing the stud frame, you already take into account the clear height and width needed for the door, and place the profiles accordingly.
And as @One00 already mentioned, the Knauf videos clarify things.
