Your split is okay. In fact I sometimes use the same split. Your volume, especially for small muscle groups such as bis/tris is way too much. Also, avoid presses behind the neck and pull downs behind the neck as this puts your a lot of stress on your rotator cuff. For chest, back and legs I would do 8-10 total sets. Bis and tris only 3-5 total sets and for shoulders 5-6 total sets. Here is an example:
Mon:
Incline dumbbell press 4x6
Flat barbell press 3x6
Parallel Dips 2x10
Barbell curl 3x6
Incline curl 2-3x8
Tues:
Squats 4x6
Romanian deads 3x8
Step-ups 3x10
Standing calf raises 3x10-15
Wed: Rest
Thurs:
Dumbbell press 4x6-8
Lateral raises 2x8-10
Close grip bench 3x6-8
Overhead rope tricep ext 3x8-10
Fri:
Pullups 4x6
Barbell row 3x6-8
Close grip pull downs 2-3x6-8

Are deadlifts not a good option to choose on back? And will 2 exercise on bicep hit both heads enough?

IMO you just have way too many exercises for chest and shoulders. Go with 2 presses and one fly for chest, and 1 press and 2 flyes for shoulders. Stick with 3 exercises for triceps and biceps also. Exercises are good, just too many sets.
Go in with crazy intensity and hit the weights hard for a short period of time. Rest 1 minute max. failure on each set. You should not even be able to do all those exercises because you should be too tired after two exercises that you can barely make it through the third.
Leg day is perfect, you might want to sub out one leg curl for a leg press exercise. All good though.

Your back workout looks fine and doesn't need adjusting unless you feel you aren't getting results.
For almost all exercises I do 1 warmup, 4 working sets, and 8-12 reps. Legs I go higher. This is basically the plan but I change things up constantly trying to get more growth. Right now I'm liking 10 sets of 16 reps for quad extensions with only 15-20second rest between sets. This is because I can't squat or leg press atm. Just saying nothing is set in stone but the basics are 8-12 reps and 4 sets; 3-4 exercises.
