It's dark elves that have the increased fire damage.
Anyways, not all dragonknight skills are anti-range. Draconic talons is a great rooting ability for kiting enemies as an archer, and stonefist is a good mid-range knockdown. Dragon blood (green dragon blood in particular) is an awesome self heal and the stamina regen bonus it conveys will let you fire off weapon attacks more often. Even lava whip can be useful as an archer.

That's not entirely accurate. You are right they have MORE increased fire damage though than the Altmer. The Dunmer also has less Magicka (1% less) than the Altmer, and 10% less magicka regeneration. The Dunmer makes up for it with fire resistance and 6% stamina.
