I'm honestly not that concerned about the synthetics vs. organics theme. For one thing, I hate that BioWare made technological singularity the impetus for the Reapers in light of the fact that the Reapers are machines and that machines (EDI and the geth) work with us in ME3. Plus, if you think about it, ME2 actually does follow that theme somewhat. The things we learn about the geth give hints that there is far more to synthetics than we thought and dropped hints that some sort of co-existence/reconciliation with organics was possible.

As for your other points. Well, I do think that ME2 was the weakest link in terms of the over-arching story of the games. I'll admit that. I'm not seeing how the loyalty missions were bland or repetitive. I would also add Thane, Samara, Miranda, and Kasumi to your list of redeemable characters.
