That's a good selection of lenses. I wouldn't recommend buying any more lenses until you're certain that your art is being held back by the lack of a lens.
Start with the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. It's the lens that normally came with that camera body and covers a very useful range. It should work well for landscape photography. If you need to go wider, you can probably stitch multiple shots together. There are certainly better lenses available in this zoom range, but they'd be hard to justify at this point.
Next, learn about portrait photography and depth of field with the 50mm f/1.8 lens. Place yourself about 2 meters (6 feet) from your subject. Across a table works well. Switch the camera to Av (aperture priority) and dial in f/1.8. Focus on your subject's eyes, reframe, and shoot a great portrait. Notice how the small aperture number makes the background go way out of focus.
Finally, take some wildlife shots with the 75-300mm lens. This lens was originally sold as a low cost telephoto for film SLRs, so it may not be the sharpest. Many wildlife photographers want a longer focal length and wider aperture, both of which add to the size, weight, and cost of a lens.
You may want to buy some spare batteries. If the batteries you have are original to the camera, they may not hold a charge very well and it's always nice to have spares.
