Replace Dawn of Sorrow with the original Castlevania and I'd agree with you.
As much as Dawn of Sorrow is an okay game, its not really a 'must play' of the series. Heck, in many ways, I consider it a downgrade from its predecessor (Aria of Sorrow).

The 'core' titles are pretty much what you listed, just making the modifications I mentioned.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
