KK vs Godzilla is the most profitable and attended Godzilla film in Japan (adjusted for inflation) even over the original and Shin Godzilla, and that was the shift in design of Godzilla being less demonic and based around terror.
Son of Godzilla has one of the finest non-Ifukube scores in the series, with wonderfully acted characters and the most unique ending out of any traditional Godzilla film.
Hedorah is an arguably experimental masterpiece, giving both the film goer audience and children alike a digestible piece regarding Japan's financial prosperity (the post-nuclear world of greed from '60 films such as Mothra vs Godzilla) and growing pollution problem, a film of which is received very well in it's country of origin because of it's visual think piece.
All Monsters Attack was a compilation made for the Japanese children's film festival, and is the only film in the series to focus on Godzilla as a meta concept, teaching kids and parents alike that an overdose of fiction isn't a good substitution for parenting and socializing.
Sometimes a character is changed and sometimes appeal of the plot is broadened for a larger audience, but who cares when the film's are nevertheless creative and brilliant? Having Kong in Ebirah wouldn't change anything, it's still a brilliant take on foreigner exploitation and "kaiju" terrorism, and GMK would be a fan favorite regardless if Varan and Angilas replaced Mothra and Ghidorah, these hands hold very little weight in the grand scheme of things.
