The only one I would consider wrong is:
.

I see the dentist tomorrow at 3.

..going... is correct .I think so,because we know exactly when we need to see the dentist.

I picked option 2 but in fact I'd probably say "I am going to the dentist tomorrow."

I see that as a natural example of the 'present simple for scheduled/timetabled events in the future'.

I think this one depends more on the context of the conversation. If you were asked, "When do you see the dentist?" and you respond, "I see the dentist tomorrow at 3," that would be fine.

But it wouldn't fit as well if you were asked, "When will you see the dentist?" so then you'd have to use the "will see" response etc.

I could come up with an example for any of these, but suffice it to say, each one would have a place in the right context.

That's fine in theory. In practice, I think we respond with the thought that is uppermost in our minds, regardless of the form of the question.
