RE: I'm looking for a bulk way to take off from the Google search results over 600 old and inexisting pages?
What about creating a load of 301 redirects, from the none existent URLs to the still active ones , &/ or, updating your 404 pages to better inform users what happened to the "missing" pages. regardless Google will just stop indexing them after a short while.

RE: Redirect Chain
I've had a look at your site & you have
- http://rogerlapin.co.uk/ - Status code 301 - redirect URL to https://rogerlapin.co.uk/
- https://rogerlapin.co.uk/ - Status code 301 - **redirect URL **https://www.rogerlapin.co.uk/
- https://www.rogerlapin.co.uk/ - Status code 200
You're using number 3 (above) as your URL, so, my suggestion is to set both the redirect URLs for 1 & 2 (above) to https://www.rogerlapin.co.uk/ instead of the chain you currently appear to have in place.

RE: Using copy from a current site on a new one
By all means, use the copy especially if you're ranking well for it. I'd recommend:
- Creating 301s
- Updating the robots.txt file, after Go Live with the Disallow / command
- If you have access to the old version of GSC then you can repoint the whole domain over - old to new URL

RE: Google has deindexed a page it thinks is set to 'noindex', but is in fact still set to 'index'

RE: Using copy from a current site on a new one
Hello Kirk,
As long as you point the root domain, all should be well. I went through the process a few months ago with a clients websites; no problems were encountered.
I've collated the articles I found useful prior to the process I went through.

RE: Thoughts on Botify?
That all depends on what you need it for, what does it do that GA & GSC (& Moz) doesn't do? Is it worth the subscription costs, which aren't published - so they'll probably feel how deep your pockets are.

RE: Should I exclude my knowledge center subdomain from indexing?
Well, the advantage of having sub-domain is that you can target a specific audience with that specific sub-domains since Google'll treat it as it's won unique site.
The biggest disadvantage is that if you don’t do it right, you will not get the expected results you could even draw traffic from your main domain.

RE: Is having my homepage on a subfolder harmful?
Personally, I don't see why the folder structure would negatively affect your SEO. I recommend that you use the tag to cleanly denote what is in English & whats in Dutch.
