They were not included because they were irrelevant. The Book of Ezra and Enoch are, effectively, astrology and astronomy - documents of the celestial cycles and their timings.

It should also be noted that many of these have already been translated at a much earlier time frame into ancient languages that we then use for translation.

One should be extremely careful how much weight is placed on one word. By the same logic, the Catholic Church was founded by Peter. We don't want to go down that road.

Adorable.

Know that the question is never who I am. That is irrelevant. It is who I will have once been.

To some of us, Time is irrelevant.

The books you reference are what they are. They were not hidden out of a desire to conceal the truth, but of relevance to the story conceived for the Bible, which is intended to trace the lineage and prophecy of Jesus back to Adam and Eve.

In an era before the printing press, the astrological symbolism and descriptions within Enoch and others were considered irrelevant and ancillary to the purpose of the Bible.

If you wish to ascribe to the Bible the idea that it is supposed to contain all truth and all knowledge (or scripture by extension), then we must also include the books of Mary, Judas, Thomas, and countless other tabloid collections of the day that have made their way into archives.

You should consider, very carefully, upon what your faith is based. The world can pass away and what truths will remain?

If I replace your flat world with a round one, will your faith crumble? If I reveal aliens as your tribal deities, to include YWH, would you be cast into Nihilism?

Just what kind of God do you believe in, if not the Almighty?
