Caller ID doesn't provide this. What it does uniquely is to at long last give 
people the ability to control who has and doesn't have access to their homes.
Just like the peephole in my front door provides.

You have this right regardless of Caller ID. If you wish to remain private,
simply choose not to call me, period!

Contacting other people, especially strangers as in the scenarios presented
by you anti-privacy types is not a way to remain private. If you wish to
remain private, don't contact me!
