Yeah, I can see your point, though Kaldur has shown to be quite blank. If someone had to go in terms of not adding anything, it should be Aqualad.
I like him, but we must admit that if he wasn't the leader (and he was only the leader because Robin still "couldn't lead well") he'd be useless. Even when he's leading, sometimes I forget about him. It'd be ok, if he hadn't a major role.
In "Bereft", no one from the team remembered Aqualad. If Megan hadn't put together all of their memmories, the guy would've die in the middle of the desert. Also, in that episode of the simulated Earth's end, he sacrificed himself for "nothing" and then Robin took his position as a leader and, guess what, he did better than him.
I understand Wally wasn't essencial (as no one is with the exception of Robin and Superboy) but Kaldur was even worse. What's a pitty, because he is a cool character.
Actually not really he saved Martian Manhunter which is important because without the Manhunter they all die. All Robin did was blow up a base which matters not because no matter what happened Miss Martian was just going to make the simulation worse.
I think Wally was worse, his focus episodes were kinda more separated from the main plot. Not to mention he was pretty fail in most of most of the fights. Although Robin missed a lot of episodes as well so he had some relevance problems as well still he is the most famous so its not like he needs as much development.
Although all in all Miss Martian was a pretty horrible teammate letting Aqualad almost die to knocking her teammates out in enemy territory so they won't find out her secret. Lobotomizing a bad guy and then getting blackmailed because she was too cowardly to tell the truth. Not to mention a high degree a self loathing. Seriously I don't know how anyone could like this character.
Still I agree they needed more screen time in development especially if we don't see much of them in Season 2. Superboy and Miss Martian dominated the screen time. I mean at least we know Aqualad has to show up for father issues and he got a new suit but KF, Artemis, Zatanna and Rocket don't seem to have ready made plot points.
I bet good money the roy clone dies while real roy goes join cheshire and match on the evil side.
As for age I know Aqualad and Kid Flash are 16. Kid Flash turns 16 in his last focus episode where he saves the princess. So a 2 year time jump would get them into the league.
