You might have gone a bit overboard with all those purchases, but if it gets you riding, why not?
I don't think you can use those extra spacers because your stem is clamped at the top of the steerer tube already. You will get plenty of height from the trekking bars and/or new stem.
You'll need shoes for those SPD pedal. Also practise on grass as you are likely to fall once or twice learning to ride with clipless pedals.
If your wheels are wobbling they may need the cones adjusted, not new bearing balls. A bike shop can help with that.
Personally I don't like the ride of suspension seat posts. Raise your butt a little off the saddle as you go over bumps and use your legs as shock absorbers.
Good luck!
