The blades are only hunting down dragons that they know where are, Nafalilargus might be on their list but they're not prepared to travel across all of Tamriel in search of him. Alduin only raised dragons in Skyrim, he didn't have time to raise any of the dragons outside of Skyrim, as Nafaalilargus died in Hammerfell.

Numinex said his name to Olaf One-eye, but did he ever write it down? No, when they wrote it as Numinex they may have written it as it sounded because Numinex couln't have written it himself. And It's hard for me to see Numinex as saying "It's spelt N-u-m-i-n-e-x. For all we know, his actual name might be Numunnax which sounds like Numinex. Or if you want another more possible explanation. There are a ton of words that do not have a dovahzul translation. He might have an actual name, that was just never explained. There are over a million words in the english language, currently translated we have 483 words. which means there are over 999517 words that might translate Numinex' name.

I know, I've read the book myself. But it doesn't prove he was an actual dragon. Even if I kill my bird a dragon, doesn't make it one. Apart from dragons there are other creatures that resemble them such as Dragonlings who is another species entirely, there is no reason why there wouldn't be another species that resemble Dragons and are large enough to ride. Furthermore, there is no proof that Starlover's Log is not a work of fiction, for some battlemage to ride an actual Dovah is weird and Samar wasn't even a Dovahkiin.
