Most people here already know there is missing content from the game, but don't really know why.

The three missing killstreaks (Gunship, Chopper Gunner, Rocket) are because of rendering problems.  When you have a larger view (such as from a chopper that lets you see the whole map) there is much more to be rendered, more than the Wii can handle without a drop in performance, or the game drawing low-res textures and low-poly models.  It's either framerate or quality, one would have to give.

The Camera Spike is also because of rendering.  Like splitscreen, multiple views are being rendered at the same time.

The emblem editor may be because of what Wii or the engine can handle, but I believe a big part of it is Nintendo.  Remember when they removed the ability to see the emblems of other players on Mario Kart DS becuase of the images some players were making?  Since Nintendo doesn't ban, they remove reasons to ban.  Nintendo and customization don't get along well.

I know we are missing content, but I just want people to know why, so they don't blame Treyarch.  There are limits to what the Wii can do and what Nintendo will allow, and Treyarch has already seemingly pushed past both...they don't have much headroom left.  So, just so everyone knows, we were not ignored.  They put as much effort and content into this game as they possibly could.

five and dead ops are gone...

Dead Ops was an easter egg...not exactly a huge loss.

And I think (not sure) that Five was last-minute, and patched in, basically as free DLC.  Again, I'm not sure, but it seems like the map wasn't overly-detailed and the character voices were made to be intentionally humorous - not as a serious part of the game, but a last-minute consideration.

You guys have to understand the Wii doesn't have the computing power of the consoles.

That's the reason, Treyarch wanted to include everything that was possible.
