Lorentz transformation and Special Relativity Theory

Question:
"DOES THE INERTIA OF A BODY DEPEND UPON ITS ENERGY-CONTENT?"
/ By A. EINSTEIN. September 27, 1905/
The answer was: yes, the energy / mass (E = mc ^ 2) is the force
what causes the "inertial" speed of the “body".

Chapter 32
THE MASS, MATTER AND ENERGY RELATIONSHIPS
Section:
F. Who really discovered the mass-matter-energy relationship?
------.
In 1916, Einstein attempted, ad hoc, to convert E = mc2 into a relativistic equation by adding the Lorentz transformation factor to it as a denominator, vis.:
#
According to Einstein, this new equation describes what happens when the energy, the mass and/or the velocity of a material object changes[71] (Einstein, Relativity, p. 50). There may be some empirical support for this conjecture by Einstein, but certainly it is not as a result of the Lorentz transformation. If the Lorentz transformation factor,
#
is ad hoc (Chapter 27); invalid for Length Contraction and for the Dilation of Time (Chapter 28); and invalid for Relativistic Mass, Relativistic Momentum and Relativistic Kinetic Energy (Chapter 31); why should we suddenly believe that it is valid with respect to mass and energy?
#
Thus, the conclusions attributed to Einstein—that the mass or matter of a material body is a direct measure of its energy content and that a body’s matter can be totally converted to energy (Ibid)—are at best misleading or hyperbole.[72]

I was surprised to find in internet Einstein formula
of interaction between E=mc^2 and Lorentz factor.

(Einstein, Relativity, p. 50)"

I cannot understand: why Einstein formula
"certainly it is not as a result of the Lorentz transformation" ?

Can energy and matter disappear?
----
1 - There are many examples when energy and matter disappear (becomes infinite) .
For example: the collapse of the Schrodinger psi- ψ-wavefunction.
2 - There is law:
"The law of conservation and transformation of energy/mass"
and this law (seems) must forbid psi- ψ disappearance.
3 - But if this happens, then solution can be one:
the law of quantum "transformation" comes into force.
4 - Quantum physics knows only one such law: Lorentz transformations

In the Lorentz equation t is a duration in v on the right side and t is a point on the left side.

I don't know why that is.
