Having tried 3 copies of a 85 F/1.8 in the past, I'd say, don't bother. I absolutely hated the purple fringing at large apertures, its IMO bad IQ at F/1.8 and F/2, and its seeming unability to properly focus at relatively close distances when it really counts and when you really want to use such a lens, e.g, at weddings and parties, without flash.
As to your 50 mm lenses, if you do not use the 50 F/1.8 STM, you could just as well get rid of it.
For your crop camera, if you do not mind F/2.8, rather get the 60 EF-S macro (excellent), or alternatively the EF 100 Macro, preferably the L if that is within your budget. If you don't mind a longer FL, and your budget will allow it, the lens to really go for, IMO, is the 135L . It is razor sharp from F/2.
Kind regards, Wim
