You may dislike it. I never said it has to be a Document menu; never
said that it is very common to have a document menu. I only reasoned
that some of the items did not belong to the place they were put
according to the HIG.

And to propose something else, I found a common factor and I remembered
having a menu in LyX where they might fit in.  

Please, be welcome to reason where they should be.

see.

Format->Bullets & Numbering
Format->Columns
Format->Styles and Formatting
Format->Theme
Table->AutoFormat...
MathType->Set Eq. Prefs.
Tools->Templates

Now it's time for promotion:

How does Word do it: you have to specify for each table how it looks
like. You have to select all text to change the document-default font.
Luckily LyX has a lot of document-level settings, such that I'd have to
specify once how something should look like. Praise LyX by having its
Document menu, because that's where it's good at (and it changes at
little as possible).
