"speed of light by 300,000,000 = 9 x 10^16 "joules" ?? why not speed of 9 x 10^16 kilometres per second ? Where, how, and why did the "speed" become "joules"? "

Because E is Energy and Energy is expressed as joules.

You are using a formula: E [joules] = M [kilograms] x C [speed of light] squared.
