Almost all of your points seem to be of one type or another. Both types are obvious fallacies.

The fact that someone else invented a similar device early does not take away from the respect due to the inventor who created the version that we all use.

The fact that someone else invented the version that we all use does not take away from the respect due to the inventor of the first device of that type.

For instance, Carver didn't invent ground-up peanuts. He was, however, the person who worked out that if you roast the peanuts first, then the paste is much finer and the product tastes better.
