5. The argument falls apart even more if one takes the LOTR mythology (Silmarillion) into consideration

Lord of the Rings is bona fide storytelling. The Orks, Elves and Hobbits are precisely that: Orks, Elves and Hobbits. "Arda" is an imaginary world of its own, that draws from mythological motives of various cultures, Greek, Christian and Nordic. The implications for "real world" races etc. are zero.
