To address the Yoda thing: I think the idea is that Yoda was just staying alive as long as he had to in order to do his part in restoring balance to the force. Just because he always rode around on Luke's back doesn't mean he was crippled.
I agree with most of the other points you made though. As I've heard from others, Episode II should have been I, and III should have been extended and split over II and III.
As some good points though, the melee battles in the latest movies are 10x better than any of the ones in the original trilogy, aside from the final one in ROTJ which looks badass despite lack of acrobatics. Besides, having Spoiler:
Yoda fight Palpatine and Obi Wan fight Vader simultaneously practically gave me a hardon in the theatre. Also, most of the casting was well done aside from Anakin, and possibly Padme. Ewan McGregor and Samuel Jackson rock these movies.
