Yikes! That was pretty messed up. Goes to show that you can’t really trust Microsoft or Samsungto handle things for you.
Weird, I recently bought that same phone and did not have that problem. Why?
"Do you want to transfer your files from another device?"
No.
Just no. I don't need your help, I can do this myself. Previous phone is backed up to my NAS, I can restore what I want from there.
I see a new phone as an opportunity to leave stuff behind. It's on the NAS if I REALLY need it.

This is also a case where EU still sleeps; that you have to agree to some end user agreement and possibly log-in to some account to even start using your smartphone.
Edit: to clarify, while the vendors services are usually optional (with multiple scary warnings) in the initial setup dialogue you can't skip, Google's are not, even if you don't use the play store.
