But at each point in space the EM wave isnt bobbing up and down nor
back and forth. And Ive never heard a explanation from any theorist,
Maxwell or otherwise that offers an explanation how the energy
is transfered mechanically.

That's because an electromagnetic wave is not mechanical. Classical
electromagnetic waves consist of an oscillating electric and magnetic
field. The field is doing the waving.

And if one cant say for sure *how* a wave propogates energy through
space
then one cannot rule out that a non expanding universe with a constant
c can allow the observed frequency to diminish with distance.

Well, one could argue about what "for sure" means, but the nature of
propagation of radiation is known very precisely, and does not agree
with your "picture."
