I have groups of points (2D centroids) that I want to declutter by removing points so that there is a minimum distance between the remaining points whilst retaining the overall "shape" of each group.

 

The PointCloudSimplifier seems to do this, but is there an alternative for 2d objects? If not, is there a way to convert regular ol' points to fancy point clouds? Or is there an another, better, way to achieve the desired result?

You can use the PointCloudCombiner to convert points to PointClouds. Its a badly named transformer because it implies you need multiple point clouds but you don't.
