Because they either do not feature a lot of personal stories in the mythology - so do not seem personally powerful, their worshipers being conquered or leaving that aspect of a god/goddess, or are grouped together with other gods/goddess of the same nature.

Who are the mythological figures whose existence is required for the world to keep existing probably from Jewish or Christian mythology or folktales?

The Abrahamic religions are not like the Greek myths, which had a myriad of lesser deities such as river and tree gods, in addition to nymphs and satyrs among other creatures. In Greek myth, the lesser gods were the "Mexicans." In the same way that Mexicans basically keep American running, in Greek mythology, the lesser deities keep nature itself running. Of course, unlike Mexicans, the lesser deities were immortal, and actually respected. In the early midieval Christian tradition before Protestanism, especially in the Greek Orthodox Church, the lesser deities of Greek myth were replaced by "God's angels." Angels, took the place of satyrs, nymps, and lesser nature gods of myth. One thing all three Abrahamic religions are in agreement though, is that God's own power keeps everything running there are no helpers involved.
