The Dunmer don't think they're better, they are better. The Altmer might have more Magicka but Dunmer are also adept assassins and can learn one-handed for example. What would an Altmer do against an opponent who was resistant to magic? I, as a Dunmer, would just acivate Ancestor's wrath, run up and hack and slash with dual wielded enchanted blades or you could sneak up on him and stab him in the back (if you're an assassin, which I'm not, but to each his own). Although I don't like Altmer, I don't hate them either. I hate the Thalmor. Hating the Altmer for what the Thalmor do is like hating all Dunmer because some own slaves or all Nords because some are racist.

well Dunmer are one of the more balanced races they can rely on their mastery of destruction magic or like you said they can get in close...I tend to go for one handed/bows/or destruction and mostly stealth for when my enimes have high damage outputs...That being said The AD is the real  problem the Thalmor no matter how much I hate them are just a subsection of the Altmer Empire...so you have to take down the whole Dominion to get anything done really.
