Bretons have a resist to magicka, it doesn't make them any better as wizards. They are meant to be mage slayers. I already pointed out the flaw in that argument you're using:

I completely agree that Bretons are overall better then Altmers due to their bonuses. I simply don't see how regarding mages specifically, a resist to magicka would make you better than better magicka.
