Well last time I checked, the Declaration of Independence mentions the following, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." When does wearing a mask supercede my right to Life?

You’re missing the 6th amendment where you’re innocent until proven guilty. You naturally assume that someone who isn’t wearing a mask is infected and spreading the virus until you can prove that you’re not getting sick standing near them 10 days later.
A massive point that many pro-mask people are missing is that not all of those who don’t wear masks aren’t being self righteous jerks who don’t care about others. Some have other ailments that prevent them from wearing masks, have experienced trauma in life that renders them mental anguish to wear a mask, and/or some people have issues like claustrophobia or panic attacks that keep the, from being able to wear a mask.
Additionally, there’s studies that show negative psychological impact to kids wearing masks. There’s other studies about the reduced oxygen impact, others yet that show the inability to actually filter the particle size that spreads the illness, and others yet that show how bad people who use masks improperly use the masks themselves (repeated use of single use masks, exposure to extreme heat/sunlight, improper wearing of said mask, etc.).
Just because the government tells you to do something doesn’t always mean it’s the best thing to do. Look at Venezuela, Cuba, 1930’s Germany, or Russia under Stalin.
