Half of the stuff you listed doesn't bother me in the slightest, as for me it's a rpg feature that would made the game feel lifeless without it. I dont want to warp and load with a black screen constantly, and I'll take the location area over nothing. The achievement/challenge log messages also don't bother me either because they are there to inform you you're close to completion.
I wouldn't be so mad if they put an option to turn off certain things that can't be that you have listed, but I myself would keep a good bit of the stuff in, as for me it gives the appeal of seeing a reassuring, familiar message when you do something.
