I vaguely remember Really Rosie and Fantastic Planet. Don't remember the Point at All. Really Rosie - also, I think, might have been featured in that progressive 1970s Afterschool Variety Show Special by Marlo Thomas and Friends (included Michael Jackson, Peter Paul and Mary, and various others - "Free to be, You and Me".)
Hanna Barbara tended to repeat itself. The Jetsons/Flintsons are copies of each other, same formula and in turn copied from The Honeymooners. Scooby Doo - they had several copies off of it, Josie and the Pussycats, Jabber Jaw, Drak Pak (the most innovative of the bunch), etc. I watched all of them, but not much there.
Anime tended to ruin me in regards to cartoons though - mainly because my brother and I and my Dad could draw the cartoons, but we couldn't draw the anime. LOL!
The writing was better in the Jay Ward cartoons. The animation jumped up a bit in the WB revival cartoons in the 1990s, but by then I'd moved on to anime full time. I had however, seen everything you list above. Watched all of them in college and law school. LOL!
