Oh! For a solid coop experience check out any of the little big planets. Lots of cute costumes for character customization.
For a gender neutral character I can recommend Toem! It’s incredibly cute and charming.

Ōkami.
Well, she's a wolf, but she's the Sun Goddess too.
There's that Disney dream light game or something like that, definitely seems child friendly.
Very child friendly and lots of fun, at least last I played, and I can’t imagine Disney of all people really changing that to much.
Sayonara Wildhearts. I bet she could play it herself
We love Knights on Bikes for our girls to play.
I think Tchia may be just what you're looking for!
Old but gold, the Longest Journey, since you seem to want something story centered.
Celeste. It's tough as nails, but it's so rewarding and the story is.....gah!
Giana Sisters as female C64 clone of Mario Bros.
The Longest Journey / Dreamfall / Dreamfall Chapters. Absolutely magical games.
Gianna sisters: twisted dreams
Hey!
It's not coop, but I recently played "The Big Con" (with Gamepass) and it's more of a fun ride with an easy control scheme and decent puzzles. While the FeMC isn't the classic "strong female lead", she is a teenager growing up and develops throughout the game and it's story.
I found it very funny (your daughter might not get every joke, tough), depicts some good topics (trust, family and responsibility) in a very lighthearted way with a cute art style. :)
One I haven't seen mentioned yet, Dreamscaper. Its an action roguelite about a girl who battles her inner "demons" at night and lives her life in a new town during the day.
Baldur's Gate 3
Contrast on Xbox market was awesome. Really fun platformer that has an amazing soundtrack too
Roughly what age are we talking? The list you linked is accurate and pretty much all the mainstream ones. Also,
Telltales The Walking Dead
Minecraft Story Mode
Beyond good and evil
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure
It's very wholesome and relaxing. She can probably play this herself.
My daughter is 4 and loves this game- both playing it and watching it getting played. It works well on her Linux laptop with integrated intel graphics too, in case that's a factor.
Ms. Pac-Man, but of course!
There's always Animal Crossing and its many sequels... you're not obligated to play as a female, but it's at least an option. Metroid has a female lead, but those games are probably a little beyond your daughter's grasp at the moment.
