Is there a reconstruction for whom and when were the peoples of the ancient Levant just before Israel, Judea and Edom?

It's a big ask!

I believe there was an Exodus and it happened 1446 BC. Your ref to Mitanni refugees means Knohl obviously believes in a much later Exodus (or no Exodus at all).
Amalekites - mentioned many times in scripture. https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=amalek&qs_version=KJV Descendants of Esau, a subset of Edomites.
Amorites - very prevalent in Canaan. Well known. Look them up in google. Hammurabi was Amorite.
Canaanites - descendants of Canaan. Sometimes I think it refers more generally to the occupants of the land of Canaan. When used more specifically it refers to Phoenicians. The Canaanites built Carthage and took their Baal worship with them as shown in the name "Hannibal", and in the evidence of child sacrifice.
Girgashites - no one knows anything about them.
Habiru - may have been nomadic, mentioned in the Amarna letters, taking an early Exodus view, when "habiru" is mentioned in the Amarna letters it may mean "Hebrew", ie the followers of Joshua.
Hittites - came from central Turkey. Were in the land of southern Levant even in the time of Abraham, around 2050 BC. (Abraham born 2166 BC, IMO). Their language is early Germanic, not Semitic. Much can be found about them.
Hivites - Mainly south Lebanon. The Gibeonites were Hivites.
Horites, these were Hurrians, see International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (James Orr), volume 2, p756-757, by F.W. Bush. It is online. Again much is known.
Hyksos - so many settled in Egypt in the second millenium that they were able to take over the country. When they were driven out Josephus says that some of them captured Jerusalem: if that is true then the Jebusites may have been Hyksos.
Jacobelites - never heard of them.
Jebusites - the occupants of Jerusalem only.
Kenites - a tribe of Midian (North West Arabia) some of whom believed in the God of Israel. They might be a family of the Midianites. Look up the scripture references at Biblegateway.com ... https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=kenite&qs_version=KJV
Perizzites - not much is known about them.
Shasu is an Egyptian term and may simply be a general term for foreigners, esp nomadic, or with no fixed homeland: so the "Shasu of Jahweh" spoken of on inscription in Sudan in my view refers to the Israelites.
