Like fossil fuels come from organic matter that grew because of the sun. Is there any form of energy on that cannot be traced back to the sun in some way?

Well it’s still incoming energy, and it’s a scalar quantity. One could argue that average velocity/momentum incoming from the strikes might be zero, but I don’t think that’s the case either
Yeah, AFAIK the big meteor showers all come from the “oncoming” direction as Earth orbits the sun. That actually might average out to zero linear momentum, depending on how they’re spaced, but it definitely is reducing the Earth’s angular momentum around the sun.
