*What's the point of this artificial 16 hour deadline to find this random ass planet?

To add tension I guess? The plot reason is that they need time to take off.

*Why is there only two maps? Why not just one?

I don't see why this is an issue. Sith follow the rule of two; presumably, Kylo took Vader's wayfinder from the forest and Rey claimed Palpatine's wayfinder from the throne room. One was made for the Sith master, one for the apprentice.

*What was the purpose of looking for the second map if Ben just destroys it anyway?

Don't see why this needs explaining. That's just the antagonist thwarting the protagonist, creating conflict for the sake of having a climactic showdown and lightsaber duel.

*A random ship can somehow get on the star destroyer because of some keycard, and that arises no questions from security on board (only send two troopers)?

Yep, the keycard was explained, that's exactly what it does.

*What's the point of Rey destroying Ben's ship when she goes back to Luke's planet, only for another ship to just happen to be there, and for Rey to go get the map from the destroyed ship that just happened to survive?

The other ship is Luke's, and this is one of the things that was actually hinted at, handed off and followed-through from TLJ.

*How can a ship, designed for no atmosphere and is made of metal, be perfectly in working order while it was stored underwater for a century?

I dunno, why do the lasers make sound in space? It's sci-fi.

*What's with the complete 180 on Rey's lineage?

TFA suggested she was someone important. TLJ 180'd and ROS 180'd back to the beginning and finished what TFA started. You could explain it away as an Obi-Wan kind of half-truth, but I think it's just a result of disjointed leadership and poor planning.
