A lot of combinations can be explained away. "Hey I'm a Tauren and I like nature, but I want to go learn about 'The Light' and a Paladin."
Sure they don't fit the norm, but they can be explained away.
HOWEVER, the following are just stupid and logic is thrown out the window.
Gnome - Warrior
Goblin - Warrior
Undead - Death Knight
Anything - Warlock (Warlock should not be a playable class, they are basically evil. I mean the fact that horde allows warlocks after their history on Draenor is mind boggling)
Well Zabra Hexx would disagree with you:

Tauren Paladins . What were they thinking ?
I come across a quiet river, that wonders through the trees.
I stare into its running waters and fall unto my knees.
In resignation to the forest, that's held me for so long.
I close my eyes and drift away into nature's evensong.
Sunwalkers as a concept were good. I do not think that the Paladin class was required for it, however. Druids already encompass solar reverence in the balance spec. Had Blizzard wanted to do this properly, they could've made it much simpler: some Tauren joined the Argent Crusade and learnt the art of being a Paladin. Similarly, Blizzard's justification for the disappearance of Spellbreakers was silly. They could've just said many of them converted to being BKs. No need for half-arsed explanations that beggar belief.
Blood Elf warriors. Belf Pallies and DK to less of a degree. I don't care how much sense they make, I just don't like them. I blame RP servers.
At least goblin warriors look scrappy and would probably blow up.
Undead monk
All gnomes
See I don't agree here, I think the only races that should be allowed to be DK's are Undead or Humans. Hell the first Dk was Gorfiend and he was an orc in a mutilated Humans body.
For me I want all my characters to be undead, but sadly an undead paladin will never be allowed so I cry. I hate Goblins, I love how horde gets screwed over with classes. I also hate the Draeni, I think they should have gone with the Broken models instead.
Night Elf Mage
Orc Mage
Undead Hunter
Tauren Priest
They ain't necessarily evil. Many warlocks wield fel to understand the Legion and wield it against it. Problem warlocks pose is that fel apparently corrupts by proxy. Blizzard might retcon this, methinks, since it makes it nigh impossible for them to work with arcane-phobic races/classes. I mean you could rule out DKs and SPs on similar grounds. I agree that the class is a particularly bad fit for the Horde, but that's another debate relating to the races using it.

Why limit yourself? Particularly if you ravaged Quel'thalas, and the kingdom has a tradition of warriors combining martial fighting styles with sorcery, why not draw on it for DKs, as Arthas did indeed do? Just because someone is the first or the "original", doesn't mean they're the best. Unless you're Eredar, I guess.

Can't say for sure, but he's referenced in-game. The priest tier 9 set (horde side) have his name: http://ptr.wowhead.com/itemset=848
Goblin Shamans are just stupid - after a long time of developing "shaman must respect and humiliate himself before elements" stuff we have Goblins pretty much striking bargains with elements, pretty idiotic.
Night Elf Mage - isn't it one of things that defines a Night Elf? They hug trees, are sickly blue and HATE ARCANE MAGIC?
Personally, I feel annoyed by is Undead Hunter. It just doesn't feel right at all.
