I agree with you hard on these female characters. Especially Havers and Sybill Vimes. I love Sharon Small's cute, dorky Havers. Especially in early seasons where she has the really bad hair and the anorak. But I think I may even prefer book!Havers, who is a sartorial nightmare, has broken teeth, is inclined to walk around with ketchup spilled down her front, and still repeatedly out-awesomes even Lynley not through super-inflated girl power, but simply through being a very decent human being and damn good at her job.
I was typing out a few additions to your list, but when my comment got too long for LJ I figured maybe I should follow your lead and make my own post about this sometime. :)
