You raise a fair few points, I think they should be addressed individually.


 * Hal was chosen for being League Founding member, Wonder Woman hasn't done much either. But they're iconic. Green Arrow's got a pretty good role in the series, though compared to the remaining Thee Placeholders there is the League Leader and the Two Biggest Den Mothers, these three certainly deserve their place more then him. Neutral.
 * Ocean Master. He's done plenty in the comic, besides he's still Equal to the Light and had a substantial role in the development/acquisition of the Starro Plot Driver of Season One. Important. Besides that'd make Two Mantas and One Massive Spoiler for those unaware of season two. Kaldur additionally isn't actually working for the Light, only appearing to.
 * Team Lineup. This realistically is just an unfortunate part of the larger ensemble. Nightwing, Superboy, Miss Martian, all significant parts. Tigress too, though she isn't officially back on Team and isn't there despite the massive role For the Team. Blue Beetle and Lagoon Boy are clearly significant. Batgirl, Beast Boy and Lag'ann (probably Cass and Jaime too) are gonna get some focus in our remaining comics even though they arent getting so much screen time. Robin, I feel is intended to have a breakout role, but he's currently lagging on that. Bumblebee however, if you've payed any attention, is clearly going to have a significant amount of focus as we see the Mal thing develop further. So while impulse probably ought to have a place, it shouldnt be Bumblebee whom he replaces.
 * Nightwing, obviously needs the position, Superboy and M'gann similarly. Blue Beetle and Lagoon Boy certainly. Beast Boy and Cassie are fan favorites and fairly iconic. Bumblebee should stay. But we have three characters who will undoubtedly have a greater role in later episodes: Mal Duncan/likely Guardian, Arsenal, Impulse, Possible Static. If serious about Impulse, I'd say replace Batgirl.


 * Now for a more realistic way of handling it... There's going to be more characters gettiing bigger roles then we could ever put on the Team. The Possible Static, the Tye, the Ed Dorado Jr., the Pink Aura Girl. Then there's those getting some limelight with less clear motives, namely Arsenal. How about doing a Light Abductees/Possible Anti-Team segment>? When it happens of course.
 * Tigress
 * Static
 * Tye
 * Ed
 * PAG
 * Lagoon Boy
 * Shimmer
 * Blue Beetle if abductee, Icicle Jr if possible Anti-Team
 * Impulse if abductee, Tommy Terror if Anti
 * Beast Boy if abductee, Tuppence Terror if Anti.


 * By my count that'd fit with what is a fairly likely outcome.. Would allow to free up BB, BB (though not BB:Bumblebee) and LB's spots, Give room for Mal and Arsenal. Just a forethought for when we get more info. Though giving impulse a spot only delays the problem, and giving him Karen's will likely be a mistake.

TL/DR: Neutral on GL, No on Ocean Master, Impulse, switch Bumblebee for Batgirl or Robin.
