I suspect it is just none of these wars were important enough in the long run for most Europeans to cover them in their history classes, as you might expect from the names - the Sixth Anglo-Spanish, Fourth Anglo-Dutch War, Second Anglo-Maratha Wars and the First League of Armed Neutrality

Though the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War does seem to have been relatively disastrous for the Netherlands and might be remembered more if the French Revolution hadn't overshadowed everything a decade later.
