This feature is great, but why extend it only to Paddle Steamers and Transports? Why not also Galleons and older transport ships?

Because that would just be overkill, and unnescesary.

Not unnecessary when the Celts send an invasion force with 30 Galleons to my shores ...

Well, my main issue is I don't want a long list it just looks bad. It's the same reason why flank attacks for all types of arty don't carry through, the list grows really big and it looks stupid. Otherwise gunships would have flank attack against rams, but I don't want a dozen unit long list, when it's really not necessary.

Very well. I stand defeated.

Well, another reason to restrict this flank attack is that modern subs might have a hard time detecting old wooden sailing ships which make little noise and are hard to detect with radar.
