Well, I think the OP was talking about the Dwemer artifacts being held in high regard (as opposed to the Dwemer themselves). If the Daedra are really as smart as humans, then they'd be capable of making that distinction themselves.

As to the Dwemer artefacts in question, I wonder which ones people are thinking of and why? For example, Spellbreaker gets passed around a bit, like Dawnbreaker, suggesting that some Dwemer artefacts may be considered equals, in terms of value, to some of the Daedric artefacts - or could it be that a Daedra can save on life-force/energy by passing out something made and powered by someone-else...?

Also, Dwarves are a Middle-Earth race and are not to be confused with dwarfs. Tolkien points out that: "In English the only correct plural of dwarf is dwarfs, and the adjective is dwarfish. In this story [The Hobbit] dwarves and dwarvish are used*, but only when speaking of the ancient people to whom Thorin Oakenshield and his companions belonged."
