Only staryu and starmie would fall under the definition 'horribly designed pokemon' out of that list, as you can't really relate to them due to lacking a face. The rest are very simply designed pokemon that fit their purpose; a shapeless blob that can transform into anything, and a toxic sludge pokemon. If you want to come with bad RBY pokemon, come with something like Seel or something (though even that thing has fine simplicity).
Are you seriously trying to suggest that Ditto and Muk reflect the ideal pokemon design.

Then what is wrong with them? Their shapeless blob shape serves their purpose perfectly. They do not need to be any more complicated.
Sure, but that doesn't mean we should have more shapeless blobss.

For example, Lord of the Rings is not cheesy by any means, but any RPG-like story with elves and dwarves after that is kinda cheesy.
That's why shapeless blobs like Muk are good, but shapeless blobs like Swalot who came later aren't (yes, Gen 3 actually had some pretty bad pokemon, often worse than Gen 4).
