You could go either way depending on priority. Small size/fast aperture etc.

I have the 14 because it is super quality and not too big. I tried the 10~24 but it's bigger, slower and not as sharp in the corners (which is important to me in this range).

The 16 is faster but bigger and not as wide.

4. sell 18-55/27 and buy 16-55

Not for me. It's too big. It also lacks OIS, though in this range I don't often need it. I use the zoom for travel or convenience so I'm happy with the 18~55. Otherwise I use primes.

5. sell 18-55/27/90/55-200 and buy 16-55

No, as above,

plus 50-140,

super lens. Will it suit you better than the 90? It does me, but its hard to suggest you sell the 90 (unless you sell it to me).

remaining 35 1.4 for its magic lens

The only Fuji lens I have sold so far. I prefer the Zeiss 32mm f1.8.

6. i do not need other lenses

No you probably don't, but that might not stop you. Go back and ask yourself what you need the lenses for and see what suits you best.
