It's true that Mauritskade is besides water, but it's also next to pretty heavy car traffic. Is it possible to give it a downgrade for that?

Or maybe it is, but then it's relevant for all routes involved, including the Sarphatistraat (which is short distance for cars, but long distance for bikes).
Also worth pointing out: the very first part of the Sarphatistraat that's skipped is a bike path between a grassy tramline and water, with the zoo on the other side of that water. Can't get much more scenic than that. It's significantly greener than the corresponding bit of Mauritskade.
