Bretons, Imperials, Nords, Redguards = human

Altmer, Bosmer, Dunmer, Orsimer = elven

Argonian, Khajiit = beastial

Aedra, Deadra, Dremora = beyond DNA

Now, let's back on topic, shall we? To a person who studies evolutionary biology and how chromosomes work:

Bretons, Imperials, Nords, Redguards, Altmer, Bosmer, Dunmer, Orsimer = many "races" of the same species (they all can interbreed successfully to create fertile offspring) in the primate order

Argonian = Order Reptilia

Khajit = Order Carnivora

Mules are sterile because horse and donkey chromosomes cannot pair up properly as they are too different. In our case, Elven and Human chromosomes CAN pair up perfectly, so they have to be 100% similar (If 99% if good enough, humans should be able to mate with chimps). If your DNA is the same, you are the same species (it is just different gene expression that creates the races). Thats why, beastfolk cannot breed with man and mer, neither can they breed with each other.

Dremora and other Daedra are beyond DNA, which is quite true. They are meant to be Demons and elementals

Back to the topic, Dremora can be a playable race (there was on female dremora in oblivion) if you really want it. They might just be more skilled in various skills than mortals, just that nobody likes them. Also, you cannot have a Dremora Dovahkiin.
