This is just some minor additions to L's justification for his athlete level AP and intelligence.
So, L as an eight year old was able to solve the Winchester Mad Bombings which occurred just after the outbreak of World War Three.

(This is a canon source by the way)
Moreover, at a young age (presumably eight years old, as Watari brought L in at eight, and no time skip is mentioned), L researched about stocks and asked Watari to invest in certain industries. In two years, Watari's assets grew to 20 times their original size.
Moreover, in the same comic Watari notes his abilities as "outstanding", which suggests that L was smarter than Watari as an eight year old.
Death Note How to Read lists Watari's intelligence to be a "7" which is equal to Naomi Misora's and Mello's intelligence. Now, while "Death Note: How to Read" is not completely reliable, it does show that Watari is very intelligent, which makes L's intelligence all the more impressive.

Moreover, "years later" L was able to solve a case which did not have any clues to it. His appearance suggests that he was in his teens.
By the time he faced Beyond Birthday, Mello states that his intelligence was equivalent to 5 ordinary investigative bureaus and seven intelligence agencies, and that this number had grown by several notches by the time he faced Kira.

This doesn't change the intelligence rating of L, but it does provide more justification for his genius intelligence, as the category varies wildly.
As regards to his attack potency, he was able to take down numerous teenagers as an eight year old. So, there's that.
One category that L should have is social influencing, as throughout the series he was able to trick Light Yagami countless times. For instance, he tricked Light Yagami briefly when he said that Light was "the only friend he ever had", and he tricked Light into thinking that he was winning L's trust. So, social influencing should be added to his profile.
That's about it.
