Hero
Human
Dwarf
Dragonborn
Tiefling
Elf, high
elf, wood
elf, dark (edit to add: I think elves need subraces to be DnD elves. But pretty muh only elves do, and maybe genasi. Most other races just have cultures (ie dwarves don't need separate rules for clans) or variants (ie dragnborn just need an energy type and some feat support))
Halfling/gnome (one race. They're redundant as is, but the new race should include the tropes of both)
Goliath/Firbolg (one race, same reason)
(all are equally necessary - including dwarves but not dragonborn is a huge step backwards and abandonment of waht makes DnD distinct. Including dragonborn but not dwarves is crapping on decades of fantasy history. Etc.)
Aasimar
Genasi
kolbold
Half-elf
Half-orc
Orc
Centaur
goblin
hobgoblin
bugbear
lizardfolk
kenku
all other beastfolk as a general build-a-beast toolkit
Weird stuff like warforged, shardminds, or plasmoids.
