First of all, that's Crimson Akali, not Blood Moon Akali. You're so up in arms about that one in particular but you don't even know which skin it is. On that note, here's the current Crimson Akali splash and the new one:

Tell me which one is more "expressive," the one with the straight face swinging her kama at nothing in a generic dojo looking background (because she's a ninja, right) or the one where she's in some dark underworld or something holding some demonic looking head with blood dripping out? There's an actual setting and atmosphere in the 'new' splash. If anything, the old one is more generic anime ninja than the new one, a thing you yourself complain about (which is a load of bull by the way, more below).
Secret Agent Miss Fortune:

Angry lady who shot up some dudes and a table in a strangely foggy bar or a confident armed lady own in the shady part of town getting the stink eye from some suspicious fellows? I'll hand it to you on this one, the old one is actually pretty decent if not a little boring to look at (there's literally nothing going on in two thirds of the image). That's a big thing though, the image is boring compared to the Chinese one. You can cut out more than half of the image and get the same scene. As far as expression goes though, the only real difference is one is angry and one isn't. I assume that's really what you're on about when you talk about how expressive they are, but to that I say "so what?" People don't have to have to wear a particularly strong emotion at all times. There's more to people than just angry.
How about the Janna splashes?:

Woman floating around in a foggy void weilding some zappy staff or a woman soaring high in the clouds clearly brewing up a storm? What does the old one have that the new one doesn't have and then some? The old one is boring, has nothing going on, and Janna looks so bored. At least in the new one she's doing something. As far as facial expression goes, they both are wearing a straight face. Here we have to look to their body for expression, and here is where the old splash falls flat. As mentioned, she looks almost bored and isn't really doing much of anything other than float there. This is more expressive in your eyes?
These are just three that you yourself mentioned. I could do more, but for the sake of brevity I won't here. You can compare them yourself if you like.
Regarding the style, to say they all look like generic anime girls really demonstrates how much you actually looked at them (that is to say, barely if at all). Just because they are done in the same, but different to our own, style that does not make them generic. That is just insulting to the artists. They're filled with detail and expression that clearly you're missing, either due to your bias or maybe you're just blind, and to say that they're all bad because one or two are bad is absolutely ridiculous. Yes, some of them are bad, but most of them are at the very least as good if not better than the splash arts they are replacing. All of them are still very clearly the champions they are meant to depict, they have all their defining features and recognizable. The art quality is almost universally better, with better anatomy, better detail, and better scenes.
TL;DR: Most of what you're saying is a load of shit. If you don't like the Chinese splashes' style, that's your opinion and you're free to have it. To say that they're objectively worse however, is just wrong. If you honestly think most of them are somehow less expressive than the current ones, you need to get your eyes checked.
Since I'm pretty tired to make a prolonged post, I will try to keep it short. While I don't quite appreciate your tone, I do appreciate the work you put in your post.
On Akali: First, thank you for pointing it out. I genuinely did not realize that splash art was Crimson Akali, and not Blood Moon Akali. Which, by the way, is a pretty damn big problem on its own.
The MF splashes I am somewhat torn on. While there is a lot to be desired there, the new splashes aren't bad on their own. The faces are practically the same, although on its own I would say that the Secret Agent one is one of the few that are an improvement. On emotion - The problem isn't that she's not angry. It's that she's hardly showing much emotion, but I can accept that there is a certain attempt at a look of seductiveness. I will give this one to you.
Now for Janna: While the art is definitely dated and can be a lot better, it has dynamic. It has expression. The facial and body proportions are consistent with other Janna splash arts. The Chinese one is pure anime face and the flawless figure. The long, elfish face has been consistent along Janna splashes - we do not see this in the Chinese one, which again, is a completely generic anime face. Her body type is the same - compare it to the earlier Crimson Akali one, and they are but identical. In the old Janna one, the spiky hair speaks "Tempest" far better than the gently flowing one in the Chinese piece. The background might be more "obviously" accurate, sure. But ask any serious artist, and they will tell you the true art is in the subtle things, not the obvious ones.
This is not about not liking Chinese art, because real Chinese art is in many ways different but also better than Western art. There are some amazing pieces of both Eastern and Western ones. I gave my opinion as an artist who has been studying League splashes for a long time, since they were doing the Art Spotlights, and following League artists to study how they approach different champions. I appreciate League art a lot, because the visual style is vibrant, deep, and in many cases, even those splash arts that eventually get scrapped, like an Ezrael one sometime ago, show levels of expression, dynamic and overall feel of both character and background that I've seen matched in a few other games. Which is exactly why I am so upset to see those splash arts that while I admit are dated, are still very, very good pieces, even if not in the HD quality of newer ones, be replaced with ones that are not only not better, but take away from the identity of characters, are bland and overall uninteresting. Sure, they may be more refined. But that does not make them better on its own.
Poppy's art or 
Annie's newer default NA splash, and replace it with what they're doing with Sanguine Garen's new art? It just feels bad.
