I'm perfectly fine with PDA and general happiness.

Baby talk is actually good for helping newborns develop the language centers in the brain. It isn't actually harmful not to use it, but neither does it harm the baby in any way and is actually benificial.
I've never in my life heard a retarded person whose speech sounded anything like baby talk. If anything, it tends to be the opposite, a little slower and more monotonous than unimpaired speech.

As a member of a happy loving couple, I'd have to say definitely not. If I found them annoying, it'd be hypocritical, and I try to avoid that.
I can't quite understand why using affectionate names and holding hands or a kiss goodbye would bother somebody else. We don't finish each other's sentences, not because it would annoy others, but because that means interrupting the other person, which is rude.
Number four is just rude, and has little to do with being a couple, happy or otherwise, and number five likewise has nothing to do with couplehood and everything to do with empathy. I don't see those two as being related to being a happy couple.
