If Auburn moves East then it means that Alabama would have to choose either TN or AU.

Putting Mizzou in the east preserves historic rivalries. It also allows Mizzou to add A&M as their cross-division rival game, helping to preserve Mizzou's Texas recruiting pipeline.
Missouri has about 400 miles of border with Arkansas and only about 100 miles of border with Kentucky and Tennessee combined. And Columbia is west of all but 2 of the other SEC schools.

Your other arguments may have merit though.
