Should it be a crime to create a human chain of people to deliberately block traffic? If so, what is the fitting punishment?

I don't think it's legal to walk across or stand in the middle of the road to begin with (anywhere except a crosswalk while the light is red).. but besides that, no, I don't think there should be special laws against it, because I think a little bit of economy/commerce/workforce/car-pollution-jamming is a good thing. The protests behind those road blockages are probably more important than the ability of the drivers to get where they want to go, and making it illegal is just authoritarianistically preserving the status quo.

Yes that's what we call in bird culture "a dick move". Should be some kind of traffic infraction that carries a serious fine because you can be ticketed for driving too slow on the highway or jaywalking.
