In other words - mathematically we are almost certain to miss each other by a long time and a long distance.

i dont know where you got that info but its wrong
mathematically speaking, the odds of life on a planet evolving to the point of technology is 100%. If there is life, then it will evolve to our level. That's mathematically speaking (out of all the planets we know of, 1 has life, 1 has advanced life, so that's 1:1).
and at the same time to assume that aliens are only sending signals to us now would be silly, if there are so many, and so many different directions then there must have been some that were sent millions of years ago and are just getting to us now, there are no rules that say we have to send them at the same time or anything
i think the real problem is they might be sending signals all the time but theyre things we don't know as signals and instead we see them as some sort of other natural phenomenon (quasars etc)
