"Increase the amount of CO2 by some arbitrary amount.

This would also reduce the concentration of all other gases,"

Just oxygen. C+ O2 ->CO2
Nitrogen and trace gases don't change.

Apples and pineapples. Heat capacity has nothing to do with the absorption bands of a gas. Nitrogen, for example, absorbs most strongly in the UV. CO2, in the infrared. O2 is in the UV.

Compared to O2 and N2, the concentration of CO2 is but a small fraction. So what you say is true, but irrelevant.
