1) Different kinds of aggressive. Bulls are easily enraged, and when they get mad they get seriously mad. That's different from Adam being racist and wanting to kill humanity for faunus supremacy. Adam applying "domination" over Blake could be a comparatively-better link...though that trait isn't exclusive to "aggressive male animals". And with animals, it's a different case of domination most of the time.

2) Evolution doesn't make redundant, unnecesary traits. It either adds necesary traits or changes/improves existing traits. So in this case, Faunus would not have 2 human ears and 2 animal ears. They would have only 1 pair, either animal or human, which would have far better hearing capabilty than normal ears.

As for what trait I would associate with a bull...not a nose ring, that's not bull-exclusive. IMO, it would be J-like horns that point towards the front of the person. Or maybe cut bull horns, kinda like Hellboy.

3) And yet we get Ruby lifting casually a very damn heavy sniper-scythe and casually no-selling the damage it's recoil would cause to her, and Coco goes a similar route with a minigun. My point: Build doesn't mean anything in this show. Especially when Aura is at hand.

4) Instead of adapting the faunus's bodies so that they were strong enough to withstand their weight? I find it unlikely. Otherwise, the bulls we have in Real Life would have taken the same route. 1) "When they get mad, they get seriously mad". Discrimination would make me mad, and Adam does, in fact, get seriously, SERIOUSLY mad.

2) I... really fail to see how that affects the argument at all, because obviously faunus DO have a set of human ears and a set of animal ears. See also Blake Belladonna and Velvet Scarlatina...

And again, horns that extended in any direction besides straight up from the place where they would get the most support would weigh on the body; in this case it would just constantly pull the head forward.

3) Knowing you, I know you won't buy a 'Rule of Cool' argument, but I don't know what else to tell you, and I would like to point out that this is a fictional world designed to entertain, hence the logical and physical restrictions to Crescent Rose and Coco's Handbag.

4) You're assuming that cattle had horns in the first place instead of evolving them as a defense mechanism that was suited to their muscled bodies. I'm making a guess here too, saying that's what happened (Google isn't giving me much on the evolutionary path of cattle), but seeing as most animals don't have horns, I would assume that that was the path taken.
