I can buy oats and flour on the cheap around here, but chickpeas and dried beans? That's very quickly sounding like $10 a day.
Bruh how? You can get kilograms of dried beans for $10.
It's more expensive for canned beans but for $10 are you eating 5 cans of organic beans a day?
Where are you buying dried beans?

These are 1.28 a pound, if you have a winco or costco you can get much cheaper.

These are 2 dollars a pound.
So like you would turn this into hummus and eat it with bread/tortillas you made from flour.
There's no Amazon in Denmark. Basically anything bought from Amazon either comes from Germany or the UK, which makes Amazon probably the worst, most expensive option for any reason.
Ahh interesting! In Denmark what is the cheap protein replacement? In the US it's mostly all dried beans.

Maybe chickpeas are expensive where you live, or maybe you miscalculated. Either way, take a look at my numbers for comparison.
We can get a 3.63kg bag of chickpeas here for $7.49 (CAD). Assuming you fulfill all your Calorie and protein needs from chickpeas alone (2500 Calories and 150g protein per day), it comes out to about $600/year. That's $1.64/day. In order to be $10/day, you'd have to pay 6x as much for your chickpeas, so that same 3.63kg bag would have to cost $45.50.
"Also, do you really NEED to sleep?"
Read Marx, especially if you don't think you need to.
I wish I could eat like this - not only for the cost effectiveness, but it'd be better for the environment than meat! Having IBD really sucks. I can only imagine how difficult it is in the US where the medical care is so expensive on top of everything else.
Are split peas and chickpeas not beans?
You're not wrong! But I felt like some people wouldn't think of split peas, and wanted to call out more than just "beans"
Mmm, delicious advice duck ... is telling me to eat the rich?
Welp, who am I to question it's wisdom, must be the right thing to do.
Is that diet OK for growing kids or just adults?
More variety in your diet is likely to always be superior to less. That goes for both kids and adults. The trouble with younger kids is that deficiencies can impact their development and have more severe long term consequences, and they're also less capable of seeking out foods to fill that gap.
My mom basically starved so we could eat. I remember her giving me her food regularly. I Still only ate once a day even with her sacrifices. I expect I will be doing the same at this rate so I wanna do more for them if I cam.

I have no idea. There is a decent variety of foods that are 1000 calories for a dollar, and maybe combining all of them together is enough variety. But I'm not a doctor.

We in Slovenia have lunch in school for 3€, it used to be 2 a couple of years ago.
Ducks are delicious and eat the way you describe. If I eat ducks I'm eating those things once removed and enjoying it, too.
