Many spells function as a replacement for feats or class abilities. Divine favor is better than Weapon Focus and (at 6+) better than Weapon Specialization. MotW's regenerate * wounds are a replacement for the epic Fast Healing. Feather fall replaces the monk's slow fall, etc. Even standbys like Spring Attack are easy enough with polymorph.
I'm not arguing that this is a good thing, just that it's not enough to change a spell.
I will certainly grant you the Divine Favor,
but the Regenerate X don't mimic the Fast Healing - since you have to cast the Spell BEFORE taking damage (so it is at best a lame version of the feat)
The Monk special ability is not a feat - so I really do not see the comparison.
And forgive my ignorance, but how could you use Polymorph to get Spring Attack??? To my knowledge you do not pick up the feats of the creature you turn into - only the Exceptional Abilities (which is where you could get the fast healing)
