You raise a lot of good points. And I want to believe your list over mine (the races I like are higher up, barring Khajiit), but, I don't know....

I'm... gonna have to disagree with you there. Skill bonuses are useless because anybody can match your +10 from grinding, whereas it's much harder to get that 50 extra magika, or constant waterbreathing, or battle cry, or magic resistance. You can get most of them by focusing your build to do that, but in doing so, you sacrifice other benefits, whereas skill bonuses, you don't sacrifice anything to make you breton just as good at two handing as a nord. 

Did I mention that skill bonuses are useless? Skill bonuses are useless. 

The magic resist cap, that is using the advanced atronoch right? Regardless, if your build isn't based around hitting the cap, breton is usually the best.
