3 & 6 are the same point really. "It's cheap!" is not much of a political argument one way or the other as far as I can see (unless the cost is going to significantly affect the nations budgets, which seems unclear).
4 is a non-argument. Who cares if it satisfies this group of people who hate the House of Windsor?
5 is a possible argument but I hardly think applies very often in foriegn policy affairs. Is/was the attitude of the EU / China / the Soviets / the Arab nations really going to be swayed (in our favour) by the presence of a monarchy? Speaking domestically, given that a sizable proportion of the population don't actively want a monarchy it already is devisive.

They are all of them arguments.
You may try to counter them if you choose, but I fail to see the value in your waffling commentry (particularly given how long it took me to type the bloody thing and convert complex ideas into issues people can understand).
