It is also amazing to me that the succession of the Church from Jesus to Peter, something so important, would only be recorded in Matthew’s gospel. Why did the others think it so trivial that they didn’t even mention it?

Because they didn't have scribes walking around recording everything they did. They wrote when they had time or were instructed to.

The Bible is not the be all end of of history.

John doesn't even mention the Bread - Wine - Body - Blood thing at the Last Supper!

Odd, in the light of John 6. But I don't think it's because John thought it was trivial.
