It would be a lot easier to list the ones that were kept in.

-With a Blazing Heart: Defeat the Red Ribbon Army

That's it.
I see.
I ask as I've been considering trying to re-insert the missing insert songs as a pet project for my own personal amusement.

Maybe there's a list somewhere of just all the insert songs in Dragon Ball?

I'm the exact opposite. I can deal eith Nadolny's Goku but her Gohan is soooo bad. Especially when Gohan is suppose to be a pre-schooler.

And she was cast as Gohan/Henderson imitator first
Her Gohan is at least somewhat natural sounding. Her Goku sounds like Woody Woodpecker. There inflections and cadence is off putting. It's completely put on.
The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.

Actually, not quite, a few more were than that were kept, which all happened to be in Season 3.

-The aforementioned Burning Heart in Episode 65
-Dragon Ball Legend in Episode 76
-Blue Travelers in Episode 78
-Mezase Tenkaichi was kept in Episode 86

-Mezase Tebkaichi was removed from Episodes 28 and 95
-Dragon Ball Legend was removed from Episodes 30, 33, and 35.
-Wonderland was removed from Episode 29
-Goku's song was removed from Episode 43
-Red Ribbon Army was removed from Episode 48
-Wolf Hurricane was removed from Episode 87

I think it'd be pretty interesting to see the scenes with the music re-inserted!

Unfortunately Funimation replaced some of the insert songs with added chatter, some of which is almost impossible to remove without removing something that's supposed to be there. For example, since the Tenkaichi Tournament announcer now talks over stuff like grunts during Goku vs Jackie Chun, a fan edit would have to choose between keeping the readded Mezase Tenkaichi instrumental to avoid a DBZ Real Bands situation or be forced to cut out some of Goku and Roshi's grunts along with the announcer's added chatter.

Adding extra grunts from other places and scenes might be able to cover this up.

I don't really see how that would be an issue. There are plenty of scenes in the series that had dialog added. It wouldn't be any more jarring than the dialog in the song sequences that actually were kept, most notably Episode 65.

I think Kara Edwards is a really good voice actress and I believe she could pull off something similar sounding to Goten, but not quite Goten, as a Kid Goku voice.
I'm only picturing something that isn't as high-pitched as Colleen's Gohan which I didn't like at all, but also something that isnt as throaty and nasally as Stephanie´s kid Gohan. Though I honestly think DB's dub was worse than Z's original dub acting wise, her GT kid Goku was better (as it wasn't as throaty as her Gohan and Kid Goku were). However I think Kara Edwards would be the best because she knows how to sound like an innocent boy type character, with a pitch in between Stephanie and Colleen.

If that's all you want, then all you want is fanservice, rather than an actual coherent story. And of course those aren't mutually exclusive; you could have a coherent story with "shine" moments! But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.

I honestly don't remember hearing those in the dub, but you seem to know your stuff, so I'll take your word for it. Interesting that they were all in the same "Season", but I'm sure that's just a coincidence.
