Your recipe is literally a meatloaf recipe:

I've never made meat loaf, but I would imagine it uses more oatmeal than I put in my burgers. I also add finely diced onions and garlic. Again, if I want nothing but meat I eat a steak. If I want a burger, I want flavor and texture. Also, I don't think store bought burgers have oatmeal in them. I agree that you need some fat and that's why I said lean ground beef versus extra lean. Oh, and meat is never the same after you freeze it.
