Though the asymmetry argument is perhaps valid because if you got to flip a coin and if heads one guy would get a million dollars but if tails another guy would be flayed alive, in my view it is unethical to flip the coin.
But this world I think can be changed in ways as to increase the overall average utility of birth. Both by conventionally agreed upon means like protecting the environment and making civilization sustainable and ending war, and I have more radical ideas. It is my belief that assisted suicide should be accessible to everyone, albeit with a waiting period in some cases so that the impulsively suicidal have a chance to change their minds. Were it easy to end one's life, then it would be safer to create new life.
I do feel that the world is getting worse and that the utility of birth is on a downward trend, which reinforces my decision to be childfree though I was childfree in the first place just because I don't want the responsibility, I want a chill low stress life.

Your parents didn't choose to have you. At least, not the version of you that exists as you are. They could have never known you'd be a nihilistic loser who thinks their life is genuinely that worthless that you'd be annoyed at the mere facet of existence. Maybe if they did they'd have chosen to have sex in a different position or on a different day of the week or something.

For what purposes would you declare antinatalism a moral imperative? If you accept that premise, do you then have a duty to prevent as many people from being born as possible? Should you use violence to force people to refrain from having children against their will? Is it even justified to kill people if it means preventing them from suffering by being alive?
(By the same token, I do think that natalism has a coercive effect in society. People are pressured to conform to the institution of the nuclear family in order to produce and raise children - women in particular are affected by this as they generally are expected to do most of the work when it comes to childrearing. I think restrictions on abortion can be viewed in this way as well.)

For the fact that you were born? At best its a sign of mental illness that probably should not go untreated.

Not mental illness, more depression probably. None of us are psychiatrists, though, so this should be left to the professionals.
