Currently, I have a 24-70 2.8, 70-200 2.8, 50 1.4, 90mm macro. I was thinking of picking up a wide prime as well.
The D500 looks like a great camera, but the bench of lenses doesn't seem as good as something like Fuji's lens choices.
That's probably a pretty accurate assessment. All of the Fuji lenses have been designed and engineered in the last 5 or so years and all are for the APS-C sized sensor, so it does make sense that their dedicated efforts have paid off.
The f/1.8 Sigma zooms are pretty unique and a good place to start. Lots of users here speak highly of those lenses paired with the D500. If you're happy with the 90 macro, obviously that will be fine on the D500 as well, only you'll get some more magnification. If you'd prefer to just keep a similar FOV, there are a range of 60mm macro lenses that will be great options. Both the Nikon 60mm f/2.8 D & G are solid, and there is also the Tamron 60mm f/2 (DX only) which is a pretty interesting little lens.
Wide primes for DX is definitely an area that is lacking for the Nikon system. There simply isn't an auto-focus DX-specific prime wider than 35mm. Again, the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 might fit this use.
