Actually you can't say like that lah...
the V fin is Gundam's trademark
if it doesn't has the V Fin, sure got complained by many Gundam fans (good example is Turn A Gundam)
SRW robots are not totally no similiarities
Huckebein series all share the same look too
Gespensts also same
it's just that SRW robots has more varieties then you won't feel so bored to look at it
Ez8 doesn't have V-fins either, yet it's quite popular with gundam fans. Turn A was really hideous when it first came out, but now I feel that the design was quite innovative for a protagonist. But then, antagonist mechas had always appeared in weird designs, don't they?
Regarding the case of SRW, I personally don't like them for their cheesy designs. It's a personal bias, but I simply cannot fathom the thought of having giant drills and nails on the arms as weapons. Gundams, especially those of the UC era, had more realistic designs and arsenal (although it is fictional too).

I dislike DX myself it color scheme looks ugly! I am a FAN of X and X-divider!!!
If u want to speak about "cool"ness that would be the Sentinel Lines Gundams!!! They r fierce and cool looking, the FAZZ and S / Ex-S gundam looks cool! Another cool mecha would be Sazabi and the upcoming Hi-Nu!!! Besides those i think it would end up to Crossbone gundam!!!! The AOZ ones are cool too!!!
Nvr watch them buy brought due to coolness!!! (excluding sazabi, saw it in 0093)
Cool-ness is very subjective. I actually prefer the DX although I have to say I loved the single bazooka of the X more than the double barrels of DX. X-Divider is quite ugly IMO due to the removal of the ultra cool X-wings at the back, and the replacement boosters are simply too conventional.
And Beam Harmonica? Too cheesy, just like Peacock Smasher... but then, everything has their own set of fans right?
Upcoming MGs are looking good, especially with HiNu and Zaku ver2.0. Strike Noir should be quite boring since it is yet another re-hash of the Strike Frame.
