However, you forgot to mention how he has developed his own basis of action out of his alienation and introspection. That is the most significant paralleled thought to existentialism that is present in the show. I didn't realize it at first but there are some definite connections between Meursault and Dexter, mainly the lack of emotion resulting in said alienation. nice observation!
