In that universe, someone with enough data could theoretically predict every single future event long before they occur,

With quantum mechanics and uncertainty principle, how do you argue for determinism? We cant argue that its stoichiastic and out in the long run, because a single event happening as photoelectric over Compton could mean the difference of someone living from a radiation cancer treatment or dying of a recurring cancer that missed a single cancer cell.

Just because we can't currently perceive that something isn't random, does not mean it is not random. We thought rolling dice was random forever, people still think flipping a coin is random (even though you could easily control the flips and people did it centuries ago).

There is nothing random, we just do not currently have the ability to gather the information needed to determine the outcome in advance.
