DEL 2230 (also a 0440am though)
BOM 2230 (also a 0400am)
COK 2205 (also 0340am)
MAA 2100 (also 0200am)
BLR 2200 (no early morning option)
HYD 2200 (also 0345am)
TRV 2155 (no early morning option)
AMD 2255 (no early morning option)

The current JFK flight allows excellent connections to all these cities. If it left later, connections would become quite poor.

Cheers,

Emirates' JFK flights dont rely solely on India. There are a number of other flights that would connect well to a midnight arrival.

IKA 0115
KHI 0130
DAC 0145
KWI 0150
BAH 0230
DOH 0230
MRU 0235
MLE/CMB 0235
MCT 0255

And a number of other flights will be added to this list.
