Maybe, maybe not. I've known people who had slightly longer commutes and never wanted to switch out of their "sporty" hybrids (as opposed to "comfort" hybrids), for various reasons.

Out of the three, I'd go with the Kona as the other two seem a bit too upright to me. I've had a Marin San Anselmo hybrid for a few years myself, which is similar to the Larkspur, and while it was definitely a very smooth ride and a very beautiful and well-engineered machine, it had serious speed limitations and unnecessary suspension (forks and seatpost). I did lots of fun stuff on it including 22 mile RT commutes, centuries and multiday tours, but eventually I gave it away to my mother who rides it occasionally in fair weather. A little too much on the "comfort" side.

One concern I always have about commuting bikes is whether you'll have to lock them up outside for the duration of the work day. And if you do, I would strongly advise against an expensive and new bike, unless you live in some unusually tame area and can see the bike right out the window and could travel from your desk to your bike in under ten seconds - or something like that.
