First off
1. Lower rate of urinary tract infection.
2. Lower risk of complications due to urinary tract infections.
Are essentially the same reason, and as pointed out are rare events, especially if {clean\healthy} procedures are used. I am not convinced that the rate is lower, as many minor infections go unreported every year (regardless of location), and being uncircumcised cannot be any worse than having female genitals .... in terms of breeding grounds for infections.
2. Can leave scar tissue that causes problems or at least desensitizes the area.
3. Can cause sexual problems especially if a mistake is made.
4. The risk of a problem occurring during the procedure.
5. The risk of infection after the procedure.
Are also essentially the same reasons as well, and they are the risks undertaken by having
any operation, whether it is cosmetic or life saving. These are the reasons behind "1. Essentially completely unnecessary genital mutilation" after all.
4. Easier to care for/clean.
This is bogus. It is just as easy to clean with the skin pulled back and there is no special procedure needed other than this.
The issue of infection really comes down to regular cleaning.
You will need to teach your son to do this when he {showers\baths}, to make it as commonplace as shampooing your hair.
... and at some point the question will come up why you don't have a forskin -- be ready with your answer.
5. Social factors. (i.e. not being different) I don't really think this is enough of a reason but my wife disagrees to an extent.
6. The social issues really will not be as present for children who are born today because more and more boys are not being circumsized.
Again these are essentially the same argument, and the (logical) fallacy of (ephemeral) popularity. I was subject to some kidding in high school (it's not an issue until puberty eh?), but my son was not. Times change.
Sexually, I am not aware of any partners not being satisfied with the end results such that they felt diminished in the experience due to the presence of a flap of skin.
