FWIW, for many years, I had the 50/1.2L, 85/1.2L II, 135/2L, 200/1.8L, and 300/2.8L IS. Now, I have only the 50/1.2L, 85/1.2L II, and 300/2.8L IS. The 135/2L and 200/1.8L are excellent lenses, but I almost never used them, since getting the 70-200/2.8L IS II.
I agree, i didn't use that 135L since so long time ago, but i know i will not use 85L or 50L much either, i am a landscape photographer and a sports photographer, i have 70-200II, so like you, i don't use much any prime lens in that zoom lens range plus 50, i have Canon 85 1.8 and even this i don't use much in sports regardless how good it, i have 50 1.8 and 50 1.4 just as collection, i bought a lot of gear in the past and end up using less and kept the rest just to show off my collection.
If i were you i won't sell 135L, and that 200 1.8 i may replace it with 200/2L, but to each his/her own, i just don't sell great lenses no matter what until i buy something as replacement, i will not sell my 300 because i will buy 150-600 or 100-400II, and i didn't sell 135L because i have 70-200II, one day i may use that 135L for its worthy, i always choose primes for fast focus and sharpness when i shoot dedicated portraits, looking at all my photos from all lenses i have, primes are winners over 90%, while with zooms it is nearly 70-75%, even if i use the best zoom, and i wasted a lot on primes and zooms so i am not that so easy getting rid of my gear even if they are collecting dust until as i said when i buy the better replacement/upgrade.
