My dream replacement for the kit lens would be the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM, but that might be a little crazy. I've also considering the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L, which was recommended by Joeycat as her walking-around lens, although it's kind of wide...I'd want to get something a little longer to go with it, and at that point, I've now spent as much as the 24-105mm :) That Tamron is a good suggestion that I keep forgetting about.

I'm sure you've heard me talk about it before, but it sounds like the Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8 would round out your collection nicely. It's affordable, covers a decent range, and I probably have it on my camera 80% of the time. Since I got it, I haven't touched my 50mm 1.8. I got frustrated by the weight of my camera bag, and now usually have the 28-75 on my camera, with the 10-22 in the bag when I need it. The kit lens and 50mm have been donated to a friend, and I only bring the (agreeably crappy) 75-300mm when I NEED the long zoom, and know I'll have plenty of light. <abbr><em>Toni’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonibduguid/3228158915/" rel="nofollow">Ouch</a></abbr></em> I pretty much agree with your assessments on all of the same, or similar gear that we own.
