"Why would the Mages accept and Arch-Mage with no magical skills at all?"

Well, if you're talking about the College of Winterhold, you don't really need to be adept at magic to hold the top spot there. The Arch-Mage is basically the headmaster -- his job is to oversee the day-to-day running of the College, provide his input into studies where necessary, and ensure that no students are accidentally vaporised in their experiments. He's really just a glorified babysitter.
