Can I skip this 45,000 service?

I don't see anything that really needs to be done since my car is running fine and was wondering if I can wait until 50k for the oil change. Only replacement is the smart key battery which I'm assuming I can do easily myself? I also can't rotate tires since it's staggered.
Rotate tires and adjust tire pressures as required
Replace smart key battery
Reset maintenance reminder light
Check installation of driver's floor mat
Inspect and adjust all fluid levels
Inspect axle shaft boots
Inspect ball joints and dust covers
Inspect body
Inspect brake lines and hoses
Inspect differential oil

I only take my car in for service every 10k miles, the 5k service is a waste of your money. At my dealership, the 5k mile service is like $86, and the 10k service is about $90. The 5k service is an inspection, and they'll replace your key battery if needed. The 10K service is all that plus an oil change. The 5k service makes no sense to me, and my dealer agreed, so they showed me how to reset the 5k maintenance reminder so I can reset every time it comes on. Just start taking your car in for service every 10k miles and skip the 5k services.

Yep most of that you can DIY in two seconds. The idea of going to the dealer so they can "check" your floormats is cringey. i'd just do the oil change when due and not make extra trips for all that other stuff.

Off-topic but I had a 10K complimentary service done since I've owned my car a little over a year now, but with barely 1300 miles on it. I had to come back again because the tech missed 1 entire quart of oil and the dash threw a "low engine oil" indicator.
