Orca may not "fit" but its a good GB and I like the shape and textures... very low priority swap. Junker ships are okay for freelancer they could be improved but they are okay. Same for the Grizzly, Blossom and Hachiman. Titanic is okay, that and the ALG Mover both need work but they aren't critical.
I'd add the Penumbra, Wasupu, Havok Mk II, Akegata, Kujira and Scorpion to your list. Mainly, I feel we ought to get rid of the imports and improve upon the low-quality "space-plane" models.
I'd also remove several others from your list which I believe to be fine ships. Like the CSF. It's my go-to example when people talk about how to replace imports. It kept the same shape that we'd all grown accustomed to with the "Turanic Raiders Freighter", but changed it adequately enough to fit in with Freelancer. It turned out great.
However, the only ships that "need" replacing are the imports. Everything beyond that is just opinions.
I love how noone will even touch the waran. It is like....supposed to be the flying coffin. I love it!

... 's because it's so ugly noone wants to touch it. (sun).
Does not need changing at all: Blossom, Grizzly, Mammoth, Titanic, Hachiman
Fine as is / Very low priority: Tiger Shark, Moldy Crow, Raven Talon, CSF, Recycler, Ravens Claw, Hacker GB, Orca, Umbrage
Needs texture tweaks: Gitano, Bulldog (Junker tech needs to look Junker-y), Tanto (Blood Dragon red spraypaint anyone?)
Definately on the to-replace list:
- Spatial (Import, needs axing). I have a replacement for this one.
- Virage (those two sticks out of the front are just plain silly). Mad is doing this one.
- Firefly (Import, and not so high quality model). Open for a modeler to take on.
- X-Shuttle (Not so high quality model). Open for a modeler to take on.
- Waran: Low quality model due for something a little better. Open for a modeler to take on.
- Heimdall: To fit in the new continuous Hessian line.
- Vidar: To fit in the new continuous Hessian line.
- Hel: To fit in the new continuous Hessian line. All being worked on.
- Liberty Carrier: Seen several suggestions on the forum for a replacement, but noone has sent me an actual model file yet.

I think Vidar and Hel are really cool looking, but I agree that they don't fit the Hessian line. I wonder if they could be moved to another faction where they would fit in better.
