** The Matrix might know where he is at any given point, in the sense that his XYZ coordinates are in the code somewhere, but the Agents explicitly don't have access to that information - they're limited by a "world that has rules". They aren't aware of information they don't *hear* through their earpieces. So if they want to track him, they need to put an in-universe tracker on him. "But this seems rather limiting" you might ask, "aren't they basically putting the Agents in the same cage as the humans?" Why yes, and Smith agrees quite strongly.

** The code we are shown running in that scene is a tracking program that narrows down the phone being used - the same program we saw in the movie's opening moments, which is clearly identified as such by Trinity and Cipher's opening conversation; it's why the police and Agents show up to capture her at that moment. "SYSTEM FAILURE" is Neo outright interrupting that program using his new One powers while still speaking to the Machines on a phone he knows they can hear.

** Also, don't forget that it's really only been 100 years since the start of this particular cycle of the war. As mentioned there have been previous versions of the Matrix and other Ones and wars but, critically, Morpheus isn't aware of that. Nobody is until Neo meets with the Architect later in the movie. Morpheus believes that the AI taking over the world and Zion's resistance is concurrent, so from his perspective he thinks it's "closer to 2199". If the other versions of the Matrix had a similar runtime then it's more likely to be nearer 2699.

*** The precise quote: "The Matrix is a system, Neo; that system is our enemy. But look around you, what do you see? [[AcceptableTargets Teachers; lawyers; carpenters]] - the very minds of the people we are trying to save. Understand, Neo, that most of these people are not yet ready to be unplugged. And some of them are so inert, so helplessly dependent on the system, that they will die to protect it. ... It's another training program designed to teach you only one thing: if you are not one of us, you are one of them [agents] ... in the Matrix, they are everyone, and they are no one."

just saying "no" to someone's remark without any explanation or reason is bad etiquette and belongs in a forum not on a tv tropes page.

*** "the symbolism and philosophical bent of the films doesn't really add anything to the experience" Yes. It. Does. "smeared over the top of pre-existing themes"? That's grade-A nonsense.
