Um pouco artificial
I wish I could have met you when you were in town. This sounds more natural

Natural
Not sure what people think is unnatural about this. It's perfectly fine.

Meet seems to be in the present tense rather than the past. That's what seems unnatural to me

Natural
It's being used as an infinitive. "Liked" is already in the past.

I guess it depends on the person. To me it sounds odd but I see your point.

Natural
It's perfectly fine if you have never met the person. If you have, then you would say “like to have met up with you...” or “wish we could have gotten together...”
