You are incorrect.
A smaller aperture does not decrease the sharpness, it increases the depth of field so that you may have more of the subject in focus.
Secondly, most lenses do not resolve the most at the largest aperture but stopped down 2, 3, maybe four stops, e.g. f4, f5.6, f8 when using a 1.4, 1.8, 2.0 lens.
Google MTF charts of a certain lens and read the description of the test and results illustrated by the chart.
Sharpness is a bourgeois concept.
