A lot of those are great! And yes, it sounds like a lot of variety until you look at how many more distinct accents the UK packs into an area a fraction of the size.
My own accent comes pretty much out of Seattle and it's always struck me as terribly boring and flat, very news anchor-y. I like the ones that have distinctiveness above all - British, American, or otherwise.
A lot to do with the history there.
Britain has a long history of isolated villages....America, not so much.
