Your block as it stands doesn't seem to need the middle plate.
I'm not quite sure what you mean about not having the water spread out, 'cos that's what it's going to want to do. As long as you have the inlet barb directly over the place where you want the water to go it'll push the water down fairly "firmly" against where it's pointed. It's not going to go spreading sideways up near where it just leaves the barb by very much at all.
My biggest concern is ensuring an even spread of water flow out from the middle. The water is going to naturally want to head straight for the outlet sides, and not move up and down to the edges unless you create specialised pressure drop regions that forces the water into those locations.
There's still a lot of work for you to do. I'm also concerned about base flex too with nothing really bracing the tops of the pins, but this is dependent on how thin you make your base. It you stay at or above 2mm thickness you should be fine.
There's a few other things crossing my mind concerning the way the pins will affect fluid flow. I tend to agree with the above statement about having the pins rotated by 45 degrees.
