Let say you wake up tomorrow and realized every composer 60 years old or older retired from film scoring. Would you be more excited about film music, less excited, or your excitement level stays the same?
I have to say, my excitement level would drastically drop. There are many young composers I really like, but none that I really love. And certainly not ones that could replace Williams, Horner, Zimmer, Goldsmith, Elfman, Newton Howard, Doyle, etc.
I think Bear McCreary, Debbie Wiseman, Ludwig Göransson, and Justin Hurwitz would be the primary composers I would be really excited about. And then Benjamin Wallfisch, Michael Giacchino, David Arnold, Nicholas Britell, Harry Gregson-Williams, and Brian Tyler next, depending on the project. Guys like Daniel Pemberton, Laurent Perez Del Mar, Atli Örvarsson, Dominic Lewis could make the list as well.
What about you?

How could one be more excited if a whole spectrum of choice wasn't there anymore?
Ridiculous question.

All the composers you've mentioned have wrote some think good - a few I didn't exactly know till more recently - Britell, Goransson, Orvarsson I'd like to see these guys on the big stage that bit more. Pemberton out of the group has impressed me most possibly the next Barry big shoes doe. Guy Farley also accomplished bright with orchestral ideas I'd like to see Guy get bigger projects he hasn't broke through enough yet for me.

To me, only Alexandre Desplat comes close to matching my favorites of years past.
Atli Örvarsson, Ludwig Göransson, Dario Marianelli, John Powell, Bear McCreary, Pinar Toprak, Marco Beltrami and maybe a couple of others have written some excellent stuff and seem to have great potential, but they don't have a big enough body of work to really judge yet...at least that I've heard. McCreary has done a lot of TV but I haven't heard most of it.
At one time, I thought Michael Giacchino seems to have the most going for him and he wrote some terrific scores, but he seems to have fizzled out a bit and gotten pretty self-derivative. IMHO. Maybe he'll snap out of it.

My excitement level would drastically drop of course. The film composers I care for that are at 60 or older are: Newman, Morricone, Shore, Goldenthal and Williams.
I guess Sakamoto and Zimmer can surprise occasionally too.
I can't name someone in film music under 60 who is close to these 5 (or even 7) names.
