May or may not help, but have you tried revdep-rebuild?
Also, you can try just one-shotting the reported packages, such as
(for the last one in your list):
emerge -1 sys-libs/zlib

Shouldn't it be the other way around? I mean, isn't it freetype,
harfbuzz, glib and libpng which need to be rebuilt so that these
libraries from sys-libs/zlib and bzip2, libpcre2, graphite2, ..., are
not needed and get removed?
I regularly get "nothing to update".
I strongly suspect it's because libfreetype and harfbuzz are circular
dependencies.
When I've built a couple of systems I regularly get "unable to install harfbuzz
because it needs libfreetype which it can't install because it needs harfbuzz ..."
You need to force-build one, and then it's happy.
So that's probably messed up @revdep-rebuild.

I too have a gentoo box with a similar problem but with no
obvious circular dependencies:
dev-libs/libsodium is preserved because vim depends on it,
but after emerging the preserved library is still found.
vim's ebuild RDEPENDs on dev-libs/libsodium:= due to USE +crypt
# emerge @preserved-rebuild
Calculating dependencies ... done!
Dependency resolution took 1.06 s.

!!! existing preserved libs:
>>> package: dev-libs/libsodium-1.0.19-r1
* - /usr/lib64/libsodium.so.23
* - /usr/lib64/libsodium.so.23.3.0
* used by /usr/bin/vim (app-editors/vim-9.0.1627)
Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries
Looking at the available versions it seems that libsodium went
from (0/23) to (0/26) a few weeks ago and for some reason vim
does not see or want that.
# eix libsodium

I'm not sure why I don't have that on all my gentoo boxes, but I don't
have
the time right now to really dive into this.
