At least for 4D, would you not consider 3D-over-time as a four dimensional model? Doesn't watching the evolution as seen here allows for building up an intuition ?

Well, what's interesting about 4D is that's not just an extra dimension slapped on top, it's extra rotational degrees of freedom. You can't really get that with time (at least not until you get relativistic, and it still would be hyperbolic rotation, not euclidean).
