Hi there and welcome to the community.
You are spot on with the timed fish and coconut wheel boosters. This has been annoying me for years and I hate being awarded these because the fish especially are absolutely useless and can hamper you because they stop you from playing your own fish boosters. If you play your own pre level fish you usually get them spawning throughout the level. But if you have timed boosters the choice to play your own goes. Same for the coconut wheels. Sometimes I wait to play until the timed boosters are gone!
As for the pop up and time wasting, I'm pretty sure King introduce these deliberately to slow your game so you have less benefit from the timed UFOs. Very annoying. There have been lots of complaints like yours.
