Whew ... that's a lot of scales to learn. Agreed, to become an advanced improviser you would probably need to know them all (and don't forget the whole tone!). But I would heed PT's advice if I was you - learn scales, but learn tunes, licks, patterns, tricks, articulation and improve your tone as well. Take your time - don't try to move the earth all at once -enjoy it!
PS Learn those tunes - that's the most important part - use the melody.
