Any of the bikes you mention are very suitable for 'city' riding, as well as much light/medium offroad.
You mention your 1st bike, and mtb, was $200
there are so many considerations for what anyone might want of their bike and what equipment is on it, 1x-2x, wheel/tire size, position/fit. and on go the options, many which are important.
your listing $2K to $3K bikes, one of which is available only online.... are you sure you want to spend that much - not having much idea of what you really might want for use?
my thoughts
develop some idea of what bike sizes might fit you best - you'd need to give a bunch of info to get anyone here to even hazard a guess...
go to as many local bike shops as you can, ask what they have to offer, which might fit/work for you
consider an 'entry level' gravel bike - they're mostly great bikes which can give you 95% of the performance, if the motor is up to it...
test ride as many bikes as you can.
just because you ride now with a backpack, don;t rule out a future desire to carry things differently... most gravel bike designs do allow some light duty racks, and many are design to carry quite large loads...
Try to initially look a bike with blurred vision, don't let 'cosmetics' prejudge. develop a feel of how the bike rides for you. Ultimately cosmetics will sway your decisions, but a cool/pretty bike which isn't the enjoyment you hoped for, will be a disappointment...
