If you know dikduk so well you would realize that Baruch Ata doesnt mean I bless you or we bless you. It means “You are Baruch” translation: The source of all blessing.
Even in the English translation, all the translators say Blessed are You Hashem, if you google the definition of blessed you would see that the English definition of blessed is also not going to fit with a translation that means “I or we bless You, Hashem.”
However there is a concept that we can give power to Hashem so to speak, because by acknowledging His Existence and Greatness and how He is the Source of everything and that everything was created and exists because of His Divine Will……………………………………………………………………………………………………………we give Hashem power so to speak to give us more Blessing. In other words, the greater our recognition and appreciation of Hashem, the closer He comes to us which directly brings about a greater outpouring of Blessings from Hashem, by coming close to Him we enable Him so to speak, to bless us more.
