It occurs to me that of the major Western holidays, Halloween is the only one that originated with Christendom but got handed over to the pagans. Did we trade it in for the holidays of theirs we redeemed and turned into Christmas and Easter?

I’d say that’s a fair enough trade, but I think we should have them all. Christ is the Lord of All Hallow’s Eve, after all.
