They all for the most part consist of flour, eggs, milk

Putting eggs in biscuits is relatively unusual, actually. Not unheard of, since they provide a nice richness to them, but that's treated as an alternative to milk for adding liquid to it rather than an integral structural element (as they are in pancakes/waffles). The core of biscuit dough is flour blended with solid fat, usually leaving some larger bits of fat to create a flaky texture. Pancakes/waffles are based on liquid fat, giving a more uniform texture.

Really, muffins and other quickbreads are more like pancakes/waffles than biscuits are, given that they follow the same method and have similar recipes. Biscuits are quite different.

and French Toast you actually have to add premade bread to it

Yeah, as far as methods go, French toast is very much an outlier from pretty much everything else. Really, the only reason it gets lumped in with pancakes/waffles is because it's typically served in the same way.
