Every cognitive bias can be seen as an illusion that the biased thought process is accurate, but you contrast illusions with biases. So it's not clear to me what separate class you have in mind by "cognitive illusion", and I don't see how any of the examples you gave fit.
Is this an example of what you mean:

Yes, I might be naively confusing terms. I see that there are cognitive biases, fallacies, heuristics, and other mental constructs we build and use to make our thinking more efficient, although some are not very accurate, but there are some more elaborate constructs with bigger structures that I see are considered "feelings" or "illusions" that are not listed like the others (maybe because there is more controversy around them or they are not psychologically relevant).
If "stereotyping" is a cognitive bias, the more elaborate "free will" is a cognitive illusion, but that is how I read it in some blogs.
