He was a carpenter. I’m sure He hit His thumb with a hammer at some point. He was fully human.

“Blind fools, which is greater, the gold, or the temple that made the gold sacred?”
– Matthew 23:17-33
Can this be counted as cussing?

‘Cussing’ is such a quaint word. You USA people really use it? I thought it was just something they said in Westerns!
The more substantive question asked by the OP is this: ‘Are we commanded to always do as Jesus did?’ Yes we are. He Himself tells us to take up our cross and follow Him.

Yet when we claim to be the Son of God it’s considered blasphemy.‘Are we commanded to always do as Jesus did?’ Yes we are.

You are being deliberately obtuse. This thread is about emulating Our Lord, not claiming to be Him.Yet when we claim to be the Son of God it’s considered blasphemy.

Personally, I think one should not be offensive to other people.
Besides that, I have long thought that “brood of vipers” and 'whited sepulchres" were a bit heavy. I thought calling Herod “that fox” was spot on but not very nice - at least in the culture within which I am living now. Jesus calling Peter “Satan” must have given poor Peter a real shock.
I nearly passed out when I first heard the cuss words very commonly used in my previous suburb (a very poor area beset by probably every social problem in the book). I had to remind myself that these too are God’s children beloved by Him. When I shifted from that area 28 years later, it was all water off a duck’s back. Not only that, but I did learn that they had beautiful virtues including an incredible and elevated sense of community, belonging and sharing.
