This response object has been configured explicitly and rather
emphatically to prevent caching.
Expires, no less than 5 ways to force MISS or at least REFRESH behaviour
from Cache-Control, and even the invalid Pragma header in case something
obeys it.

Several of these are way beyond what server frameworks add by default.
So it is clearly an explicit admin design that this object be a MISS.
Perhapse it woudl be a good idea to let it, yes?

Please run "squid -k parse". If your Squid is not at least complaining
about the above line being redundant then your proxy is seriously outdated.

"allow all" is the default for http_reply_access. You can drop the above
line entirely from your config.

You are also missing the basic security protection for CONNECT requests:
   http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports

You can omit "hierarchy_stoplist" from your config.

You are missing the refresh pattern instructing Squid how to safely
handle dynamic responses without expiry information:
   refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0

"allow all" is teh default for the "cache" directive. You can omit this
line entirely from your config file.
