The majority of those tags are useless for SEO and will do nothing beyond adding to the bulk of the page, potentially slowing page loads.
There are only a few tags that do anything useful:
1. The title tag: This is the singlemost important part of on-page SEO.
2. The meta description tag: This doesn't contribute to SEO per se but can make a big difference in click-through rates - make sure it accurately describes what's on the page without looking spammy.
3. This tag, because it defines the character set. It's important for correct browser rendering of the page, though not for SEO per se:

5. And another one, not a meta tag per se, also not mentioned on your page - the DOCTYPE declaration. Again, this doesn't affect SEO but rather correct rendering of your page in browsers. It tells browsers what HTML standards were used in the coding of the page and can help considerably with cross-browser compatibility:

I liked what you said about #2 - the meta description tag. That is correct - the Big G doesn't really look at this - but it is in the listing of the SERPs and if well written - you'll have a high CTR.
