This is where your entire argument falls flat.
Matrix embodies all of that (her world died, just like Kal's did, and she was raised by the Kents, just like Kal was. She's his sister, which is better than being his cousin).
You say you want a good Supergirl and then you list the things you want her to be but ignore the fact that that's exactly what Matrix was, why?
Lana Lang has always been more of a sister to Clark Kent than any other woman in his entire life, she's the small town girl he can tell all his secrets to, the one that got away because he didn't see her as anything more than a younger sister. Matrix is a clone of that person, and her having powers (different yet similar to his) and having been raised by the Kents to belive in the same things that Clark does is what makes her superior to Kara, regardless of her not being as 'old' as Kara was.
