Not really getting your question .,.."so which should I must visit and which one to skip?" 

 

If it's just getting from KL to BKK , why not get an Air Asia flight for almost nothing and save yourself a lot of trouble ?

Which cities has more Attractions for tourist? 

And What rout should I chose to Avail maximum  Tourist spots.

 

My plan is

Kl to Hat yai

hat yai to Krabi

krabi to Phuket

Phuket  to koh samui 

koh samui to bkk

 

Am I Missing some hot spot?

It is anyway not on your list, but George Town / Panang can easily be skipped, imho. I have once spent a few days in Hat Yai and don't consider it as a must-visit city. It boils down to your own preferences in the end. After having seen the beaches in the Philippines I would never ever go to Koh Samui again. But that's may be just me.

 

I would recommend to take the train, 2nd class aircon at least, sleeper if you go over night. Comfortable and nice to look out of the window.

I live in Hat Yai and no one really rates it for its aesthetic qualities. If you're passing through as you're heading somewhere else, it's worth a stopover but the attractions in the city and surrounding area aren't in themselves a good enough reason to visit the place. Personally (depending on the time of year), I'd get the train/ferry from KL - conveniently called The Langkawi Express - and go to Langkawi first. From there, you can take the ferry all the way up the Andaman coast to Phuket stopping wherever takes your fancy.

Another option to consider for travel between KL and Bangkok if you got the time is the ferry. You can can make ferry connections almost all the way from Langkwai to Phuket.. and on the islands the gulf of thailand side
