A1: From the list you provided, sentences 3 (#3: He went for a bathe) and 13 (#13: He went for a lunch) are not grammatically correct in standard English.
A2: In regards to #4, the correct expression is "He went for a bath." In this context, "bathe" is a verb, and "bath" is a noun. So, we use "bath" when it refers to the activity of taking a bath, while "bathe" is used as the verb to describe the action of cleansing oneself in water.
A3: When using the expression "go for" to describe engaging in an activity or an action, we typically use the indefinite article "a" before a noun to indicate one instance of that activity. So, yes, in most cases we need to include "a" after "go for."
