Big old and slow, more a surface "Cruiser Sub" then a sub really. ...Or do ppl think the Narwhal is cool because she's big and ugly?

Exactly
Narwhal is another epitome of how the US sub forces started a submarine war completely underequipped. Same as the S-Boats were slow, with less torpedoes and operational depth, the Narwhal class had some handicaps that made them lovely for those who like the challenge.

why not add the Barracuda Class, Dolphin Class, Cachalot Class and the Argonaut Class then

Because none had the 6 inch guns that allowed the Narwhal to be tasked with shore bombardment raids. One was even tasked with bombing the summer palace of the Emperor, though the mission wasn't finally accomplished.
Other than minelying, the rest of the sub classes provide missions more or less similar, but the Narwhal allows for a very different way of playing, more WW1 style.
That makes the difference for me
