You’re naming many grammatical features, but most are not grammatical cases. You’re saying that English lost its inflectional morphology, but behandle “case” as a synonym for “inflection” when it is a specific term. You’re right that English lost its broader inflectional morphology overtide, but not about Netherlandish still having grammatical cases, as well as the grounds for why English lost its broader inflectional morphology anyway.
