Also, why?

Banned shows:

Paw Patrol - Seems soulless, I haven't watched much, but there seems something very wrong about it. Intuitively, I feel like my kid shouldn't watch it (though, I can could be convinced I'm wrong, if I am)
Cocomelon - objectively soulless - don't try to convince me that this show is anything but toddler crack.

Approved:

Sesame Street
Bluey

Both of the above shows seem to me like they are made with care and have the best interests to teaching children good morals and language skills.

Some folks mention about certain cartoons portraying parents (dad/mom) as dumb, but this can be very much said about many of the Cocomelon episodes (e.g. take the "are you lying? ha ha ha" as it being a joke to do something and then lie to your parent about it).

That being said, I would suggest checking out

Old School Pokemon: many, many, many episodes and can be found fairly easily online
Tina and Tony
Kit and Kate
PJ Masks Shorts
Octonauts
Wild Kratts
The Fixies: while it originates from Russia, it is surprisingly very good and non-political; each episode is basically a lesson of how an item works with the little screws and bolts that transform into beings and fix items around the house.
Robocar Poli: originating from Korea but is well dubbed
Fairyteens: this one is for slightly older kids and can be a hit/miss
