Did you forget Marx? Marx and Kierkegaard are often called the Hegelian
Twins. Kierkeggard follows Hegel in privileging the spiritual (Geist); Marx
reverses that in favor of the material. Nietzsche did not so much dismiss
Hegel per se as much as dismiss "system" as a viable enterprise (Hegel
might be considered the paragon of system philosophers by some today, but
their ranks include Schelling and Schopenhauer; Nietszche cut his eye teeth
on the latter especially).
