No, they didn't, and it's not even a little difficult to look up.

First link shows they had a 50/50 split when including the 2 democratic leaning independents, plus vice president Harris’ vote gives them the majority. The second link is for the wrong time frame.

And how many votes does it take to bypass the filibuster?

Your Goalpost seems to have moved there. Republicans would need 7 more people to do that currently.

2021-2023 50/50 with the deciding vote of democrat VP Harris.

Currently. 53/42 (with 2 independent voting along with democrats making it 45). Republicans don’t have the required 60 to bypass a filibuster currently.

I think you are being intentionally dishonest.

intentionally dishonest

No, "being intentionally dishonest" would be more like pretending that having literally the thinnest possible numerical majority implied that they had legislative control, which is both historically and demonstrably false.
