I might grant rhombus, grudgingly (granted I would be grudging about
circle + triangle for cone).
As for cones and cylinders I would suggest:
circle + point + 3D = cone
2 circles + set of parallel lines + 3D = cylinder
I would suggest that you include a point keeper, a line keeper, a set of
parallel lines keeper, a 90 degree intersection keeper, and a 3D keeper.
Ok, are the goals 3D objects or 2D shapes, for starters?

Going with 3D gaols.
Keepers:
Point
Circle
Equilateral Triangle
Rhombus
Parallel Lines
90 Degree Intersection
3D
Goals:
Cylinder = Circle + Parallel Lines + 3D
Cone = Circle + Point + 3D
Box = Rhombus + 90 Degree Intersection
Sphere = Circle + 90 Degree Intersection
Pyramid = Equilateral Triangle + 90 Degree Intersection
Tetrahedron = Equilateral Triangle + 3D
Torque = Circle + 3D
