This is an Awesome string of code you've written. I'm partial to Python3 behavior of range though. Made a few minor adjustments yours. Better to steal like an artist then build from scratch.

function* range(start=0, end=undefined, step=1) {    
    if( arguments.length === 1) {end = start, start = 0}    

    [...arguments].forEach(arg => {    
        if( typeof arg !== 'number') {throw new TypeError("Invalid argument")}                               
    })    
    if( arguments.length === 0) {throw new TypeError("range requires at least 1 argument, got 0")}    

    if(start >= end) return                                                                                                                                     
    yield start    
    yield* range(parseInt(start + step), end, step)    
}

// Use Cases
console.log([...range(5)])

console.log([...range(2, 5)])

console.log([...range(2, 5, 2)])
