>maybe the next search engine should use a push-system

So setting up a new search engine that way would require going to every site and convincing them to notify you of changes. Wouldn't that be even more limited than the current Cloudflare whitelist system? At least there's some chance you can get around the whitelist system.

This... I couldn't get past the irony of the comment. Basically, the problem is that sites only let google and friends index them. The solution? Site should only send index data to google and friends.

I mean, I get it, then sites can send to any number of indexers, but let's be honest, like you say, any new search engine has to get sites to push data out to them. That's just not. going. to. happen.
