Out of those the only ones likely to be added are the Ju-188 and the Me-410. Those have been brought up before and aren't as unnoticed as you may think

mistel composite plane- used less than a dozen times, more dangerous to its pilot than the enemy.

the condor- maritime patrol plane with very poor bombload. Won't happen without convoys for it to attack.

the greif- too late war, too small numbers, would be far too good (can't model the engine fires and construction faults).

he 219- only equipped one gruppe (I/NJG 1), theres no role for a nightfighter in AH.

hs 129- would be nice, but I can't see them making a badly performing tankbuster

me 210- maybe

ar 196- why do we need a patrol floatplane when we can't land and take off from the water??

do 24- we need a 3 engine seaplane like we need another Spitfire...

blohm und voss bv 138- Get off the seaplanes!

he 162 salamander- one kill, in action for about 2 weeks, ain't gonna happen.

go 244- why do we need that freak if we can't even get a Ju52?

hs 123- Biplane ground attacker? Out of service by 1940.

hs 126- seriously, what are you smoking?

ju 86- 1930s bomber, inferior in every way to the Ju 88, Do 17, He 111...

ju 188- This one we might get. Upgraded Ju 88, good bomber. Served a bigger role after 1943 than the 88 did.

me 323- This one would only be useful if they were to make a light tank or let it carry a Jeep or M3, but just a novelty or scenario plane. Hangar queen.

me 410- A bit more likely than the 210, was more succesful. Still no match for the US escorts though.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

The ME-410/variants are one of my wishes as well. That and the Panther.

Raptor:

That's a workable list.  I think either the Ju188 or the Do-217 would make a swell German addition.

I think also you do need to consider the Sparveiro or Alcione to flesh out Axis airpower.

Someone said the Hs123 was out of action by 1940, that's not entirely accurate and really this would be a great plane:

It was sturdy and incredibly accurate in delivery.  It was so wildly popular with pilots and the men it supported that there were calls to start building it again when they ran out of them in I think late 1944-early 1945.

It makes a great plane to add, but only after the Gloster Glad and Fiat Cr42 are added, and those only after we get the SM79, He-111, Do217, P-39, Early war Jap bomber (Sally or Helen, the 48 was I seem to recall the better armored plane) etc. . . . . that is to say, after we have say 12-20 other planes I'd love to see the Hs123--great plabe for destroying tanks in the desert (strafing version had 2x20mms).

On your list the ones with the best chance of making it into the arena I reckon would be the He-111 and the Pe-2.  I would bet we'd see the 111 first, maybe even soon, because you can't hardly have a Combat Theatre roll out without one can you?

Also need the Wellington for English planes.  The Helldiver is about my last wish for an American plane because between the TBM and the fighters loaded up on CVs I feel we have enough excellent blue stuff for a time.

Yeah ... what AH needs is the entire inventory of German aircraft added before anything else. Ahem. Same for tanks. *cough* ;)
