Little finger, Varys, Daenerys, Arya, Night king...

Arguably the most important thing in the whole show; the threat of the White Walkers. It barely registers as a blip in the history of the Seven Kingdoms.

Arya learning to face swap and then never hearing about it again

There's a reason the series started with that scene (it did in the book too). That was supposed to indicate that the White Walkers were ultimately the important threat and the war of the five kings was, quite literally, a game of thrones in comparison.

Yet the White Walkers were destroyed by a 12-year old girl in the very first battle.

“I don’t like how it ended up” isn’t the same as “it didn’t go anywhere.” We got resolutions for all these characters. They were boring and unimpressive, but the question isn’t “what stories had unsatisfying endings?”

The Night King was killed without them having revealed with he was all about. As far of the rest of the characters listed I agree with you.

But one of the other big problems was that in S2 the show mentioned Azor Ahai (the prince that was promised) and never resolved it.

I thought it was pretty clear what he was all about. It runs counter to Martin's discussion about Orcs, but that's not cannon to the show or books. The White Walkers are evil and want to take over westerns because that's what they were created to do. Not much else to say about it.

that's a valid theory that can't be disproven, but it doesn't explain what's going on with the connection between NK and Bran inside his visions/flashbacks/greensight/time traveling/whatever you wanna call it

and then there's the deal that NK had with Craster implies something more going on than just being thoughtless beasts

I happen to prefer other theories and hope that the books make more of the scene when Bran looked back and saw the creation of the first White Walker

If the sequel books come out, I have no doubt that the Walkers (aka "Others") will play a much larger role in the story. It makes no sense to open up with them on the very first scene otherwise.

I wanted the White Walkers to invade Kings Landing and Cersei would be like "well this sucks".

These all have endings what are you talking about? Disliking does not equal didn't go anywhere.
