Have we ever directly observed an electron, proton, neutron, or quark? Do they actually exist or are they just abstractions of quantitative relations

If by taking a picture you mean registering in a photograph the photons that were emitted by electrons, then yes. every picture is a picture of many many electrons

With my eyes or some sort of microscope? No, no one has. These are models of reality that explain experimental results which you can actually see.

This is the stupidity i was referring to. Why are you fixated on direct visual confirmation? Whats so scientific about it? Its just because you personally like vision since its the more important sense, the one that takes up most of the brain thinking power.
If you were a dog you'd be asking if anyone ever smelled an electron. Thats all you are saying.

Have we ever directly observed a sound? Can I see a picture?

They are abstractions of course, all of physics is. There isn't human physics floating around us, it's all just interactions of SOME kind we interpret.

Is the abstraction floating around the room with you right now?

Have we ever directly observed the core of the earth?
Have we ever directly observed an economy?
Have we ever directly observed gravity?

what do you personally understand by "observing"? you might be misunderstanding what observing means
