I think some of those permissions can be granted and revoked on a granular basis (even file management, IIRC), but many of them cannot be. Advertising ID cannot be, for example. That connects directly to the Google Play Services app, and the only way to stop it is to either delete Play entirely, or pray that Google respects whatever setting you have to flip three screens deep.
