The rules state that a player has to interfere with the current play in which as the official explained in the link the current play was the pass to Kane, when Lovren intercepted the ball that became classed as a new set of play which negated Kane being offside. The official has highlighted this is explained to managers every season so again you don't have a leg to stand on here its time to get over it.

You still haven't answered the question. Would Lovren have attempted to clear that ball if Kane hadn't been stood behind him?

Unless you can say yes with 100% certainty (which unless you yourself are Lovren, you can't) then you can't categorically say that Kane wasn't interfering with play.

Yes he would have, the ball is heading in his direction so he would have interacted with it some way with or without Kane.

Again move on both the rules and an official have explain that part even if you refuse to accept it.
