Pratik,
Looks like you have done your research. As a former Canon system owner and twin 7D owner on up to the 6D when I switched to Pentax, I can tell you that the K3 is the better camera. The only advantage of Canon is bigger lens selection and full 3rd party lens support.
Pentax bodies cost less but the lenses are much closer in price if not more expensive in some instances.
Based on your requirements and having tried most of the lenses you have mentioned, my choice would be the new 150-450 on the long end the 16-50 for the wide shots and the 100 macro will serve you well. Unless you print super big (36x48") or beyond, the K3 is all you are going to need. I have a pair of them and the three amigos (Limited FA 31, 43, 77) along with a few other lenses and they do the job for me. I do not have any long zooms but have tried most of the ones available for the Pentax system.
If you decide to go full frame at some point, the only lens you have to change will be the 16-50. The other area where Pentax is lacking is the mid-range (24-70) with weak 3rd party support.
