the main question is, why would you need all of this? do you know you need each and every lens there, or just collecting them for fun? unless you do wildlife, 70-200 is more than enough range. if you do wildlife, look at a lens that's at least 400mm, anything shorter will mean cropping unless you shoot elephants from 20 feet away... for your price range, the only true 1:1 macro with consistant reviews is the ef-s 60mm MACRO, if you aren't ready for 1:1, get a closeup filter set like the 500d.
the key is to buy as little as possible at first, then work your way from there. first you need to know what you WILL be shooting before you can actually do it (and get the lenses for it)

I've been shooting with an analogue (35mm) SLR a long time, so I'm not as much of a n00b as you might think.
I've enjoyed shooting aviation photography, therefore the 80-400mm.
Macro I've been familiarized to by borrowing a friends M42 macro lens many times, and that I know I will use it a lot (etc etc).
