Dia Tigera Freddie in A Pup Named Scooby Doo wasn’t insane, he was naive and just didn’t ever use his head. The way the show poked fun at the character in this iteration of Fred Jones was with the running joke of Freddie always jumping to conclusions about who the monster/ghost/villain was. Ignoring the clues the gang found completely, he often put the blame on the neighborhood bully Red Herring, or he would say it was something like the Mole People or Martians from Mars. He was a junior conspiracy theorist. It’s pretty entertaining if you go for that kind of humor.

Of course, that can be chalked up to them not “perfecting the formula” as this was when the series was radically changed from the previous entry. Though yes, 4 is the most Scooby one since it’s the most light hearted of the three and “groovy” is definitely an appropriate word to use to describe its art style.

I could be wrong but it wouldn't have hurt to mention Fangface even if it was just in passing or just saying he wasn't going to include it because it wasn't HB even though it was made by one of the creators of scooby doo.
