I hear you on the lack of names for the cons, but that doesn't detract from the logic of the movie.
It is made VERY CLEAR that it was not bumblebee and hotrod in WWII. If you recall, Bumblebee was repeatedly called B127. It is made crystal clear that there are several robots that look alike, they are model numbers.
OP does not present Earth as a new discovery, simply as a quiet world hidden away. Earth is clearly known by Transformers, just not many of them.
It stands to reason that the communication range of the bots is limited, as clearly mentioned by Dropkick and Shatter to the humans. Bee managed to communicate because there was an outpost on Saturn's moon, logically, I don't think they had a range beyond the solar system.
Optimus on the other hand, is trying to set up base. It stands to reason that he came equipped with tech to send his message to the stars... or even used equipement from S7. We are never shown him actually sending this message beyond a voiceover as they look at the sunset.

Interesting justifications.
I dunno, I still think a lot of what you say is obvious are HUGE jumps to fill in logic. Perhaps several of the justifications make sense but "obvious" that ww2 wasn't Bee is absolutely not obvious at all. Being able to detect Bee but not Megs is ludicrus. Finally a teenager getting on a secret military base by cutting a hole in a fence was laughable but a convenient story element. Also, why would Cena blow up a door on a base when he could just open It?
Bah! In the end, who really cares? The average movie fan won't notice and the hard core fans will fill in blanks however suits us best. In the end, let's just be happy a tf film is getting positive attention and let's hope more follows in the same positive light.
