I agree with your gut and would only submit the APWH and Macro. I would advise against submitting the 2s in APUSH and MICRO because they represent the 41.4% and 31.1% percentile scores for that test according to CollegeBoard. Your 4 in World is a 90.8% percentile score and your 3 in Macro is a 47.7% percentile score.

Good luck!

Great question. I would definitely advise against sending the 2s. I would also refrain from sending the 3 if you're applying to fairly elite and competitive schools, especially considering that it is in a field related to your intended major. Grades in AP classes are always more important than AP exam scores, so as long as you did well in the classes, you don't have much to worry about.

I’m looking at Lehigh SMU Purdue UVA and UChicago notably for non safeties.

You've got a range of schools here. While it's probably all right to send a 3 to SMU and Purdue, you probably want to avoid sending anything lower than a 4 to Lehigh and UVA. At UChicago, you might even want to avoid sending a 4.

Purdue is a special case because its STEM programs are significantly more competitive than its arts, humanities, and social sciences. Also, your 3 is in macro, and this is related to your career interest and possibly also your intended college major(?). As I mentioned before, this would make me feel less good about submitting it to competitive schools.
