This the correct addition of velocities

w = u + v,

and this is the correct Doppler formula for all moving
bodies,

f' = Exp(-v/c) f

From these two equations we can prove time dilation and
length contraction are nonsensical artifacts of Einstein's
relativity.

Consider three inertial observers, A , B and C, moving in
a straight line, with velocities

v_ba (velocity of B with respect to A),
v_cb (velocity of C with respect to B),
v_ca (velocity of C with respect to A),

Observer B sends a ray of light towards A with frequency f_ba,
so it is observed by A with a frequency f_ba'.
Observer C sends a ray of light towards B with frequency f_cb,
so it is observed by B with a frequency f_cb'.
Observer C sends a ray of light towards A with frequency f_ca=f_cb,
so it is observed by A with a frequency f_ca'.

We have two Doopler effects as input

f_ba' = Exp(-v_ba/c) f_ba
f_cb' = Exp(-v_cb/c) f_cb

and the addition of velocities

v_ca = v_ba + v_cb

So, the frequency f_ca = f_cb sent by C towards A is
observed by A as

f_ca' = Exp(-v_ca/c) f_cb


This means

f_ca' = Exp(-(v_ba + v_cb)/c) f_cb,
f_ca' = Exp(-v_ba/c) Exp(- v_cb/c) f_cb,
f_ca' = f_ba f_cb Exp(-v_ba/c) Exp(- v_cb/c) f_cb /(f_ba f_cb),
f_ca' = f_ba' f_cb' f_cb /(f_ba f_cb),
f_ca' = f_ba' f_cb' / f_ba.

We can easily see that f_ca' is the frequency that SR can predict
to second order of v_ca = v_ba + v_cb.

Let's see. Consider the result

f_ca' = Exp(-(v_ba + v_cb)/c) f_cb,

and the relativistic formula

f_ca'' = sqrt((1 - s/c)/(1 + s/c) f_cb,

where s = (v_ba + v_cb)/(1 + v_ba v_cb/c^2)
is Einstein's addition, which can also be expressed
as s = c tanh( arctanh(v_ba/c) + arctanh(v_cb/c) ).

Let c=1, and
x = arctanh(v_ba/c) + arctanh(v_cb/c).

then
f_ca'' = sqrt(cosh(2x) -sinh(2x)) f_cb,
(f_ca'' / f_cb)^2 = cosh(2x) - sinh(2x),

we know that
cosh(2x) = (Exp(2x) + Exp(-2x))/2
sinh(2x) = (Exp(2x) - Exp(-2x))/2

so, it is
(f_ca'' / f_cb)^2 = Exp( - 2x)

then
f_ca'' = Exp( - x) f_c
and
f_ca' = Exp(- (v_ba + v_cb) ) f_cb

Now, we can clearly see where those equations disagree.
The question is, to what order?

f_ca'' / f_ca' = Exp( - x + v_ba + v_cb ),
- x + v_ba + v_cb = ln( f_ca'' / f_ca' ),
x = arctanh(v_ba) + arctanh(v_cb),

So we can define a test parameter A, as

A = v_ba + v_cb - arctanh(v_ba) - arctanh(v_cb) =
= ln( f_ca'' / f_ca' ),

Perform an experimental test to evaluate that A.
For a given level of confidence, to what order is
still A within the error bars?

Please explain how 'we' by writing two equations can falsify

You are right, 'we' can't. 'We' need one equation.
this one: f' = Exp(-v/c) f, plus one experimental test.

Nope.
