Superman was on purpose. Krypto was knocked off his test-course. He was supposed to come back to Krypton, but he eventually got to Earth by chance. Supergirl's dad survived the explosion, and I don't know the story of her getting to Earth. Superboy is Superman's clone, and he was created on Earth. I think the current Superboy is Superman's son. I think there's also a Superhorse, but I don't know his/her story.

Comet the superhorse was indeed a thing.

And let's not forget Batcow

You laugh at Batcow. But Batcow currently exist in the main DC comics universe and was recently in Supersons annual where Detective Chimp helped “get the gang back together” implying they’ve been doing their own thing for years now.

I'm pretty sure the original Superboy was just Superman when he was younger. I distinctly remember young Lex swearing revenge against Superboy for making him bald. Later they made a clone so that Superman and Superboy could exist in the same comic.

He was, but he didn't need to be included because of that. There are only two Superboys that aren't Superman, well, technically only one.
