Spends on cards:
My spends are not much. They are mainly groceries, utility bills/recharges, occasional online/offline shopping and occasional train/flight bookings. I don't order food online that much. My spends don't allow me, on the whole, to go for conditional fee-waiver cards as I won't be able to recover the fee as far as I can see.​
You have spends in grocery, so just replace HSBC plat with HSBC cashback, I know its paid but you will recover fee in 2-3 months alone just by spending on groceries and occasionally on food, rest you have sufficient cards for your needs.
