Of course this is oversimplified and neglects the effects of nitrogen in the air and inefficient/incomplete burning of the fuel in the engine.
But that aside, do you see that "C" in CO2 on the right hand side? In chemistry that represents carbon and being on the right hand side shows that it is a product of the reaction. Sure, it is bound with O2 in your oversimplified equation but that could arguably be worse for the environment.
