Really the only species I wouldnt give a crap if they were cut are Nodosaurus, Pentaceratops, Tsintaosaurus, Gigantspinosaurus, Ankylodocus, and Majungasaurus
Returning Dinosaurs?

Really don't get all the hate for Gigantspinosaurus... it's easily one of the most unique stegosaurs in the game. If anything I would have figured Chunkingosaurus would get trashed, since it's basically the far more recognizable Tuojiangosaurus in everything but name.
Welp, my work here is done!
I really like the Gigantspinosaurus it's a very unique Stegosaur next to the Kentrosaurus. It's more unique than the other two Asian stegosaurs. I don't get the hate towards this particular species either I really love the spines protruding from its shoulder blades that no other stegosaur has 
I really hope it does return for Jurassic world Evolution to because this species deserves a second chance, it's not fair for this dinosaur considering that it's being treated just like Spinosaurus is being treated as the black sheep of dinosaurs.

To be fair to the paleontologists, it goes have some pretty big spines
I thought really early on it was already confirmed not all would be returning??
This doesn't bother me, the first one had too many. If we can actually get more uniqueness among the different species it will be cool, one thing that obviously will help a lot is that now this huge number of species is spread throughout land sea and air.
I guess most people just liked throwing as many species they can. I basically never used a ton of species after getting a look at them once or twice, they were all the same and completely wrong sized to fit in (damn did it bother me so much that nearly all the stegs, ceratops, ankys were around the same size, i didn't use most of them)

I would just love to see at least one gentle big herbivore, like Stegosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, Ankylosaurus, and they all have a very VERY VERY dangerous and aggressive smaller family-member in the game that is just as bad as any carnivore, like Kentrosaurus, Styracosaurus, Amargasaurus, Stygimoloch, and Euopcephalus.
The only exception to this rule are the hadrosaurs, which are the other way around, the smaller the more gentle, and the bigger (Shantungosaurus) the more aggressive. I love aggressive Herbivores, just make them up like the frill of Dilophosaurus, in ARC there are very aggressive Kentrosaurus for example, and most things with spikes are probably aggressive in defense. I always seen Styracosaurus as the more aggressive variant of Triceratops.

This I actually think is a good idea, although I disagree with some of your ideas of what should be more/less aggressive. Id actually say Triceratops should be THE most aggressive ceratopsid, along with Pachycephalosaurus more aggressive than Stygimoloch. And I see Euoplocephalus as more openly friendly, where Ankylosaurus is more likely to ignore anything that doesnt get in its way
Aside from the dinos first appearing in Dominion within the film series, which I covered already earlier in this thread, another idea which I just came up for those that won't be in the game at launch are the hybrids (with some exceptions).
From what I can tell so far, Jurassic World Evolution 2 is taking a similar approach as Jurassic World: Dominion, which is putting a more focused emphasis on the real dinos, particularly the game's campaign. Plus, it takes place just after the events of Fallen Kingdom, and while the technology and knowledge for creating hybrids do remain possible in-universe of the film series, it doesn't seem like hybrids will be something anytime soon within the near future of the growing timeline, the same range in where this game will be set.
Still, the only hybrids I can think of that would be returning are the Indominus rex and the Indoraptor, only because they are staple and central elements within the JW trilogy. But the only probable placement for them that I can currently think of is Chaos Theory mode (and Sandbox when unlocked there), assuming that said mode is anything what I currently think it is like, until more information on it comes.
I feel like you may be overthinking things... there's nothing that says they can't add hybrids if they or Universal wanted to. Plus, it's not like this game sticks entirely to the canon... and there are clearly fans of hybrids willing to pay for more of them.
This is how I see it:
-all of the dinosaurs from the novels and films are guaranteed, both seen and mentioned, because they're the central core canon dinosaurs
-all of the dinosaurs from Operation Genesis will return, the devs went through the time and effort to bring them back to us, I doubt they'll just toss them aside plus the fans would be very disappointed
-Ankylodocus and Spinoraptor have a high chance of returning, Dominion may not be about hybrids but they along with Indominus rex, Indoraptor, and Stegoceratops can easily be rewards from other game modes (Chaos Mode would be the ideal choice since it's going to deal with alternate versions of film events) that you can then use for Challenge and Sandbox modes
-all of the dinosaurs that are in Evolution 1 that didn't have film appearances until Dominion will return (Iguanodon, Dreadnoughtus, etc) since they're now core canon dinosaurs
And any dinosaurs that don't return in the base game can easily return in DLC packs.

PLEASE NO! Hybrids suck so much, especially the triceratops/stegosaurus and apatosaurus/ankylosaursu bull, please NO. Keep those places reserved for actual dinosaurs, I don't mind hybrids like Dilophosaurus, the invisible Carnotaurus and Spinosaurus, but real hybrids like Indomus rex and that stuff, please release them in a expansion that I don't have to buy.
Indominus rex and Indoraptor are guaranteed to be in the base game thanks to the Chaos Theory game mode, which has levels set across eras and locations from all five films. If we’re revisiting these films in a “what if” scenario, then the two hybrids are all but officially confirmed.
I was a big fan of Stegoceratops and Ankylodocus, so seeing them back would be great news!
The two are what I consider possible for Chaos Theory, escape especially the Indominus. Main campaign wise, I don’t know because of what is currently known about the setting and direction it’s going, and misc. “game only” hybrids for it, and not any of the two staple JW trilogy hybrids, feels pretty odd if you ask me. Even if they are unlocked exclusively in Chaos Theory, if it is anything what I currently have in mind, it’s unknown if any of them can be placed in the main campaign like the first game’s RTJP’s compies and pteranodons.
The new raptor is Atrociraptor as confirmed by Trevorrow, but I do agree that they, along with the new dinos, will probably be a post release free update similar to the Fallen Kingdom Update in the first game.
That having "too much species from the same category" is inevitable.
When did Trevorrow confirm them to be Atrociraptor?
