You don't understand that what you're doing and describing is just photojournalism. You can say you aren't as much as you want, but that is literally what you're doing. If all you want to do is capture reality as it happens you are doing photojournalism. Simple as. All you want to say with your photography is "this is life as it happens, here is a visual document of reality."
Choosing a specific framing or timing to take a photograph is basically staging a photograph without all the hard work and technical skill involved in actually staging a photograph.
There is nothing inherently wrong with staging a photograph, and arguably it is a much higher form of photography than what you describe as street photography(photojournalism).
