Although the three points you identify as being omitted from the screenplay are interesting concepts, within the terms of Philip Dick's dark vision of the world in the 21st Century, in terms of the movie all three points amount only to padding.
They do not bear directly on Deckard's hunt for the missing replicants, but are merely incidental points that seek to explain the world-setting within which the hunt takes place.
Nor do they have any direct connection with the love story, as Deckard begins to fall in love with Rachael. She is probably - depending on which cut of the movie you watch - unaware that she is not human, which engages Deckard's initial sympathy for her.
Therefore the three points in question are not necessary in order to tell the story of Deckard's investigation. A movie must concentrate only on essentials, because otherwise it quickly loses focus.
This movie in particular, which has more re-edited releases than almost any other in film history, desperately needs to retain its focus and concentrate its limited screen time on the key elements of the storyline.
