If the definition of an element is a chemical substance that cannot be broken down into other substances, then aren’t the radioactive elements just extra-spicy lead?

I think you are thinking of one of the defintions of an atom. The one that said an atom is the smallest piece an element can be and still be that element.
You can still break atoms down into smaller atoms or parts, but then they are not the same element anymore.
