Their race includes Talos, many great heros like Ysgramor and Jorunn the skald, great wizards like Gauldur, and some of the most powerful and wise mortals ever, the Greybeards. Also the Nords were the ones to help free the imperials. Seeing as barely another race could match this record (except for possibly Redguards and Argonians) their confidence is well deserved. Keep in mind Nords used to respect all magic, and only recently started distrusting it. I agree with many of your points, but:

Talos is of an unknown race, possibly Nord/Atmorian/Imperial/Breton.

They were initially defeated by the Akaviri, but eventually defeated them under the guidance of the Empire led by Reman Cyrodil.
