I was sad to find out Dreamfinders was never made. It looked like it would have been interesting. Also, it hasn't been found yet, but I'm disappointed that "Machot drives it all"/"The First hardcore erotic Game in the world" is actually likely to exist. I was hoping for it to be a really interesting scam (I'm weirdly into studying that sort of thing).

Very much agreed on your first point, as I actually had very much high hopes of the show being real and having real missing episodes because I loved the idea of the show and it sounded like it would have been ambitious for its time in 1983. The mystery behind Dreamfinders was actually very interesting as well because nobody knew if the three episodes planned out were actually even aired on the Disney Channel's early days or if they never made it out of production but scripts were made for it (it sadly turned out to be the latter case; I'm still glad that one script of the planned series was leaked and it absolutely hooked me on the idea of the series). Still, it's one series/concept that I hope Disney would try again someday.
I don't have much of an opinion on Machot drives it all.../"The First hardcore erotic Game in the world", except I was surprised to learn that the game even had an American advertisement similar to the original French advertisement in a magazine, but A Day With SpongeBob SquarePants will always be the most disappointing found media (in the loosest term) to me. I thought that the premise behind it was dumb, the search for it wasn't actually thrilling to me as it was mostly based on speculation that was reported as "facts", and most importantly of all, the movie wasn't ever actually made in any form of production. I feel that the search could have ended a lot quicker had the people at Reagal Films just say that the "DVD" selling on Amazon.com was just for testing purposes to see if consumers would like to pre-order it even though the film never had any production at all. I would even consider the Clock Man short to have an even more bigger impact than ADWSS ever did due to, you know, actually existing and the search for it was actually interesting and had plenty of dead leads, but it managed to be found in its original Czech language by its original studio that made it.

Despite the frustrations of normal day life we go through, the best thing to do about it is still being happy for our friends and family.

I would love it if somebody tried to make Dreamfinders. There is probably a good number of people looking to do something like this.

It's just a matter of if kids would be interested in it. The story would probably work well, since it's a pretty basic concept, but the challenge, in my opinion, would be using the pre-established characters and lore from the attraction. From what I can tell, Old Eli/Dreamfinder and Figment are mostly just used for the one attraction at Epcot. Probably most kids in the target audience wouldn't have been to Epcot, so it's more difficult to know about the ride and characters (heck, I've been to Epcot multiple times, and I didn't even hear anything much about them until I found out about the show!). If they maybe used original characters or were careful to explain everything about what was going on, then it would work, but it might have been a bit of a gamble. I think if it were made now, it'd be for Disney Junior. Unless Disney makes it a bit darker and use it for Disney Channel or Freeform (which I think would be super cool).
The Billy and Mandy short sucked, not because it was necessarily bad, but it never explained the supposed screenshot from the show found on the Cartoon Network website.
For me, it would have to be the search of ADWSS. It was very interesting when it was active, but with the full knowledge that it wasn't even MADE at all just rubbed me the wrong way.

Assuming I'm thinking of the same screenshot that you're referring to, from what I heard, it was either early concept art for the actual show or for the pilot, even though the pilot ended up looking a bit different and not in color.

Yea, we’re thinking about the same picture, it is still not confirmed if it is concept art or an actual frame from another pilot presented to Cartoon Network.

Ooh, I've found the answer! I did some digging around on Maxwell Atoms's Tumblr, and on the day he released the pilot online, he posted this:
"For those who were expecting this old cel to be what you got when you watched Trepanation, I’ve solved the mystery for you!
This cel was drawn the year after the short was made. I think I was considering doing another Billy & Mandy thing for my senior thesis. Instead, I did something else. So the character designs had developed a little bit more by this point. Milkshakes existed, more or less. But this cel was never meant to translate into a finished film. For one thing, I never would have been able to paint all of the cells needed to make a cartoon that looked like this in 1996. And 16mm color film ain’t cheap for a college student.
So think of it more as a “missing link” that bridged the gap between my short at UARTS and the CN pilot."
