I can see a couple of issues, however.
First, you're backtracking. From Europe/Middle East you head to South-West Pacific, then backtrack to Asia. You must travel in a continuous direction, either eastward or westward. (Note, however, you can backtrack within regions (for example, you could fly PER-SYD-MEL-BNE).) So in your itinerary, you would need to go something like DOH-CMB-HKG-KUL-AKL-MEL-LAX (or DOH-KUL-CMB-HKG-AKL which, at a guess, would probably give you more miles).
Europe/Middle East to Australia to Asia to North America is allowed on xONEx fare.

You'll need to visit one of the Americas and then the other. One option would be to change AKL-MEL to AKL-SYD then fly onto South America from there on either LAN or Qantas. With this option I would aim to have your last North American stop as JFK because JFK-LHR is obviously a longer flight.
No need to do that. One of the visits through North America must be transit only, in this case a stop of under 24 hours at LAX makes sense. Note can revisit LAX after South America no problem.
And mileage maximising would mean flying for USA west coast to Europe, not from JFK.
