Yeah, this sounds like a really reasonable list
In terms of "most influential, in a positive sense," I feel like LBJ at least deserves a mention too. Lots of stuff people just assume has been around forever like Head Start and PBS/NPR and Medicare came from his administration (plus all the civil rights acts). If it wasn't for the whole ramping up the Vietnam war thing and all the sexual harassment he did he'd be an easy favorite for me.
He had a legendarily sized Johnson that he called Jumbo. What did you want him to do with it, exactly? Not swing it around in front of staffers and cabinet members?
