Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good moments in season 4; and you mentioned several of them, but it was so all over the place and the general arc was dull and dreary. Connor was at his absolute worst; "Cordelia" wasn't much better entertainment-wise. I mean, I get that it turns out not to really be Cordelia in the drivers seat, but it was just sort of jarring; the writing feels disjointed. Her screwing Connor just seems out of the blue and really forced. Definitely would be my lowest ranked season of the series, but still ranks higher than say, Season 6 of Buffy; or even weaker seasons of any of the Arrowverse shows. Yeah. It was and you can really see how it was all over the place with the way it kept changing throughout that season up until the end with Jasmine and Connor going crazy and trying to kill all those people and do you know if Connor was always meant to go crazy like that when they first introduced him as a baby in Season 3 or they had other plans for him 'cause I think they always planned to age him but they might have had something else in mind for him. Seeing him get his memories back in Season 5 and come back to help Angel makes me think if Season 6 had happened he would have returned full time or as a reoccurring character at the least who started to get along with his Father and helped him fight evil. I agree with you about Cordelia and her sleeping with Connor was sick and twisted in a way 'cause he was only a baby not long before that and she was the closest thing he had to a Mother as Angel said but it wasn't Cordelia in the driver's seat and I doubt the real Cordy would have done that.
We have finished watching all of 'Angel' now and I am still kinda disappointed over the ending and what they did with Fred and I think they should have made it that Fred and Illyria shared the same body and could go back and forth and not Fred being gone with Illyria in her body and what was the big purpose of Illyria? Was she going to be a big part of the following season?  In hindsight I agree Illyria served no great purpose in the show, so why kill Fred to make room for Illyria? But I do think it was because she was meant to have a bigger part to play or a more vital part in the next season, I mean Angel declared all out war on Wolfram & Hart and they set a dragon after him for heavens sake, Fred's awesome and all but she cant take no dragon down.
