Not being fondly remember as another title doesn't mean it's not remembered as a good game, the argument you're pushing here is it's not as fondly remembered as much as one of the other best games in history so it's a problem. It's like saying Deus Ex MD will not be as fondly remembered as the original like it's a problem when the game in question is stilla really good game being compared to one of history's greats.

Games like Galaxy only come once in a while it's one of the few games with a rating that matches OOT, your argument would be like complaining that Ronaldo is not as good as Pele in this instance as like 3DW or not I can't really think of a better 3D platformer this gen tbh.

Mainline Mario games are typically considered masterpieces, so for ones like Sunshine and 3D World not to be, they are sub-par by series standards. 

That's kinda giving Sunshine and 3D World the short end of the stick. Yeah they're not 64 or the Galaxy games, but it doesn't mean we should forget about them or think they shouldn't be mentioned in the series that has masterpieces. It's like saying Skyward Sword doesn't deserve to be mentioned among the likes of OoT or WW. Despite not being what some fans want, in the end, what they are, they are great games. It's almost like saying Uncharted 4 doesn't deserve to be considered a masterpiece or mentioned in the same light as 2 or 3 just because it didn't really stand out to a greater extent compared to its predecessors with the exception of graphics, even though it appears to have great execution (granted I've not played the game so idk how fans feel about this particular game). If someone were to ask me what they should try out for 3D Mario, I wouldn't mind mentioning 3D World. Yes, it's not 64 or Galaxy, but it's not supposed to be nor should it have to be. 3D World is its own game and it's a damn good one at that. I'm excited where 3D Mario can go next, but I don't think 3D World nor Sunshine should be put in the back burner just because they're not what some fans want them to be.
