Hey there.
I'm no Pro, but here's some basic fodder the input vs button debate.
Based on w3schools, it kinda sounds like input may be preferred over button.

Now as for buttons (whether via <input> or <button>), aren't they and actionable element?
If my presumption is correct, then the buttons are working exactly how they are supposed to. They're doing nothing
What about getting rid of the "=" button, and make each of the operator buttons into submit buttons.
Rowsdower kinda touched on this with:

In essence, you would just change the work flow
from:
1) X value
2) operator
3) Y value
4) "="
to:
1) X value
2) Y value
3) operator
HTH.
