Winter road-trip to Kumaon in an Innova Crysta

I have been working to finalize a plan for Kumaon for April for my aged parents - our starting point will be Auli top.

Day 1: Auli top - Karnaprayag - Kausani ( only sight seeing at Karnaprayag and Kausani tea estate).

Day 2: Kausani - Bageshwar(bageshwar temples sightseeing) - Chaukhori - Kalamuni Top - Munsyari

Day 3: Munsyari local sightseeing

Day 4: Munsyari - Nepal Border (Jauljibi) - Pithoragarh - Jageshwar

Day 5: Jaegshwar - Bhimtal/Nainital/Sattal

Day 6: Bhimtal - Kaladhungi - Pantnagar

Questions:
1. Is any of these not doable from a driving perspective ( I have an experienced cab driver taking me around ), especially the Day 4 - is this a distance that can be done if I start early morning?

2. Is KMVN the best place to stay near Dandeshwar temple and for other sightseeing in Jageshwar dham/Mrityunjay temple in Jageshwar?

3. Given my time constraint of 6 days (and priority of visiting Munsyari and Jageshwar), I'm unable to fit in Dharchula, Binsar, Almora, Berinag, Patal Bhuvaneshwar and Mukteshwar - am I missing much given the other places I'm visiting ? Or should I drop some of the places I'm visiting and choose some of these instead?
