Is GEDMatch accurate/real?

It shows Greeks as being approx. 75% Middle Eastern (East Med, West Med, Red Sea, etc.) and shows Swedes as being 30% Middle Eastern?!

I checked all calculators Eurogenes, Dodecad, etc. and all of them show same thing but different naming of components!

No it does not show that because it doesn't mean being middle eastern. Obviously genetics isn't your stronger side, no offence.

Interesting. I don't really have Middle Eastern admixture.

The components you mention are ancient, all Europeans have those in varying proportions. Having them in specific proportions indicates a signature for various regions/ethnicities within Europe i.e. a Greek has a different, predicable proportion/mix of these components than does a Dane.

Was there ancient Middle Eastern immigration to Europe if these components are ancient?

There is shared ancestry between Europeans and Middle Easterners of course otherwise they would be Mongoloid/Negroid/Australoid. Even if Europeans would be 100% WHG they still would have YDNA I which has the same ancestor as J (West Asian clade)

MENAS/Caucasians are basically cousins of Europeans while most European groups are Siblings.
