I'd assumed your data was coming from spreadsheets, in which case Load Data Infile from .csv files offers best bulk insert performance.

Incorrect. Creating a glut of identically structured tables is not usually sound or efficient design.

DECLARE is never used with @ variables ie user variables.

Read the excellent manual regarding declared variables, starting with https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/declare.html. Declaring variables is supported only in stored routines.

User variables work differently and occupy a different namespace. They may be used in stored routines and in ordinary sql. Start reading about them at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/user-variables.html.

PREPARE needs a user var.
