I used to shutdown my MacBook after every use like 12 14 times a day does it causes stress on the processor or battery ?
and even if making it on sleep causes any internal damage as for multiple shutdown or sleep ?

More important for battery life is not let it drain all the way down to below 10% or less and then charge it backup all the time.
Shutting down or sleeping in general will not have any significant impact.
You can shut down your computer or not. The choice is yours and either approach will not damage your computer or battery. I shut down my computer if I will be away from it for about an hour or more. Why would I keep it on if it is not being used? I turn off my TV when not watching it. The choice is yours.
You may want to shutdown the laptop if you want to minimize battery drain, especially if you may not be able to connect the power adapter for a while.
You probably should reboot the laptop once a week, or perhaps once a month assuming macOS updates do not do this for you. I'm only suggesting once a week/month so it can become part of a regular schedule/habit.
What you are doing seems like too much work. You need to shut down a Mac as often as you do an iPhone.
Does frequent shutdown or sleep affect MacBook's processor or battery?
