Emerson Fittipaldi - 1970 United States GP
Juan Pablo Montoya - 2001 Italian GP
Why would Johnnie Parsons - 1950 Indianapolis 500 be added to the list, but not Bruce McLaren 1959 United States GP?

Because they all won their GPs in their first F1 season.
McLarens was not his first season?
If correct then:
This is debatable because he was in a F2 division in 1958 and not eligible for F1 points, and it was only two events so nothing like a full season. Drivers who are rookies in modern times are counted as rookies even if they have two events from a previous season.
Johnny Parsons Indy 500 not a F1 (GP) race even if it did count towards the WDC.
