Only Regular Credit for College Courses?

Alright guys so here’s my current situation:
I’m a freshman at the moment and I’m taking AP Calculus BC. Next year at my high school, no higher math class will be offered. Therefore I’m planning on taking the following courses over the next three years at Stanford’s EPGY online program:
Multivariable Differential Calculus
Multivariable Integral Calculus
Linear Algebra
Differential Equations
Real Analysis
Complex Analysis
Abstract Algebra
Introduction to Logic
Partial Differential Equations
and Topology

It fits perfectly into my schedule, but I have two main concerns.
First off, how will college admissions view these courses? Does it matter that the are taken online?
Most importantly, the online courses will count for high school credit. However, they will only count for regular credit. Not honors credit. So it will drop my weighted GPA significantly. Is this a major issue? Or would a college admissions office be more impressed with the courses than the GPA?

Thanks
