Add Max Linder to that list. He was a big inspiration for Chaplin and Lloyd, and to Keaton to a lesser extent.
While Linder may have influenced Chaplin, I think his greatest influence was on Raymond Griffith.

Not familiar with Griffith, so you're probably right.
Watching Linder's Seven Years Bad Luck recently, I was struck by how similarly his Max persona and chaplin's Tramp move. Chaplin is much more exaggerated, but the shuffle is similar.
Anyway, for Keaton, I don't think you can beat his short, One Week (pictured above by Kafka), or his 1925 feature, Seven Chances.
