في منهج Excel القديم مكانش ينفع could إلا مع I / we فقط أما. هنا في هذا المنهج يجوز استخدام could / would مع جميع الضمائر والأسماء مع اختلاف بسيط في المعنى.
عربي عليشان الطلاب تفهم كويس

There is no irregularity here. The exercise is to rewrite the sentences using wish. Would like to becomes wishes and the lexical verb changes to the past tense. This is a case of the unreal past, where the past tense is used for an unreal situation in the present or future.
(1a) My dad would like to have a bigger car.
(1b) My dad wishes he had a bigger car.
You have mistakenly stated that would like to have becomes had. Only would like to changes to wishes, and the lexical verb have becomes had.
(2a) He'd like to be able to play the piano.
(2b) He wishes he could play the piano.
In (2a), we use to be able because there is no infinitive form of the modal verb can. Wish is used here for a general ability, so to be able changes to could, not to was able. We use were/was able to say what someone was able to do on one occasion, not for general ability. (However, in the negative we use couldn't for something that didn't happen on one occasion.)
