Cannot stress that point enough, especially with aliens who appeared in OV:
 * Aliens like Bullfrag and Kickin Hawk are essentially unneeded
 * Astrodactyl is a Terradino Jetray
 * The Worst and Walkatrout shouldn't even exist
 * Bloxx is a plastic Goop
 * Crasshopper is unneeded because why do you even need a jumping alien when you have flying aliens
 * Given OV's mistake at making Toepick, you don't need him when you have Ghostfreak
 * Mole-Stache is unnecessary
 * Ball Weevil is unnecessary

Oh but god forbid an interesting alien like Chromastone or Lodestar get a lot of appearances, we MUST show these terrible ones

Ya know, if you start off reasoning why these aliens are "unnecessary", then you could pretty much boil down the whole list of 60-70 of Ben's aliens to 10-15.

Let me do it for ya. Big Chill was unneeded as you have Articguana and Ghostfreak. Alien X is unnecessary Brainstorm is unneeded as you already have Grey Matter and Frakenstrike, both of which are better at their respective jobs. Chromastone is unnecessary. All he does in energy blasts. Echo Echo is unnecessary, as you have Ditto and Blitzwolfer. Goop is useless. You have upgrade that can do all Goop can and much more. Humungosaur is useless as you have Four Arms Jetray in unnecessary. Already have lot of flying aliens Rath is absolutely pointless. I don't need to explain Swampfire.

So except Lodestar and Spidermonkey, all of AF aliens are "unnecessary" (if Ben had access to the original aliens). I can continue this with UA aliens. You see where this is going.

There are rip-offs in every show (except maybe the original). But this is because there are a limited number of concepts and every show must have some new aliens.

The point of the weak aliens in Omniverse (Mole-Stache, Worst, Pesky Dust, Walkatrout) is to show that not all aliens in the Universe have super-human powers but that some are lame and powerless and worse that even humans (but still have one or two good powers). This was a mistake in the previous shows which portrayed that humans are some sort of the weakest species in the galaxy and every single alien is far better at fighting for some reason. I personally liked this concept a lot.

Now to counter your arguments, Astrodactyl is far better that Jetray (honestly). Bloxx is unique enough and verydifferent from Goop. Bullfrag was more for the episode Frogs of War that as a general alien. Crashhopper is different. It's a new concept rather than an amalgamation of two or more old aliens. I don't remember any character in the show finding Ghostfreak scary, at least not after the original series. Toepick can scare off Celestialsapiens. He is scary to another level. Ghostfreak can't scare Vilgax or Ma Vreedle, but Toepick should. Also, at least he's new. And I've already said about the useless 4.

If there is any show that I'd say had the worst aliens, it would be AF.
