Munich airport and DB

It seems that Munich's airport is only connected to Munich's S-Bahn
system, unlike many other German airports where there is an actual
railway station beneath the airport. This is a little strange because
Munich is a secondary Lufthansa hub for international flights. Are
there any plans to add a long distance train station (like Frankfurt
Flughafen Fernbf) to Munich's airport?

Many??? I would not say that. Munich Airport is connected by 2 S-Bahn
lines to the city and the Hauptbahnhof, which is a major german and
international train hub.

It's simply completely out of way! There are no long distance lines. The
nearest is the line to Regensburg, but it's only operated with regional
and regional express trains. Nevertheless there are plans to build a
train station at the airport and run these RE trains through for a
better connection to east bavaria. The 10 minute maglev train is gone
because of unforeseeable cost explosion! ;-)

Hamburg and Tegel are only connected by bus. Schönefeld has a regional
station, but it's a far cry from having a station in the airport.
Stuttgart is on the S-bahn. Nürnberg is on the U-bahn. Hahn is a Ryanair
airport (i.e. bus only).

That just leaves Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Köln among the top 10 German
airports with a proper railway station.

The answer to your question won't help travellers anyway...

Here i found a map that shows how far the airport is away from the
important lines. Rerouting the trains would just upset most of the
passengers because of longer travel times.

Yes, that map makes it clear why no ICE or even RE trains
stop there. But that begs the question; why are so many
German train stations on ICE/RE routes? Is it because those
airports were intentionally built over ICE/RE tracks? I think
this is a chicken versus the egg question, which came first, the
airport or the ICE? In the case of Munich's airport, did the
terrain demand that the airport be situated where it is?

Well, S-Bahn and U-Bahn will normally get you to a Fernbahnhof without
great difficulty. . .
