Having beneficial in-game racial passives is a plus, but not required. I'm torn on these four. I've listed out a few race options for each but also welcome any other suggestions you'd have!

Magicka Dragonknight - Altmer, Dunmer, Khajiit?
Stamina/Hybrid Templar - Imperial, Breton, or Khajiit
Stamina Dragonknight - Imperial, Dunmer, or Khajiit
Stamina Sorcerer - Khajiit, Dunmer, Orc?

Khajiit make underrated DKs imo, lore-wise. (The Kingdom of) Rimmen was pretty much founded by Akaviri, so for Khajiit to pick up some of their martial arts is an easy sell.
Imperial is an obvious choice due to the Akaviri Potentate, but a good one. So are, to a lesser extent, the races of the Ebonheart Pact. Frankly I can see a Nord picking up Akaviri martial arts much easier than a Dunmer, who are much more xenophobic and convinced of the superiority of their own culture.

Imperials are quintessential Divine-worshippers, the Alessian Empire pretty much founded the pantheon. So Templar is an obvious fit for them. Of course any race could work if you make them sufficiently Empire-loving. Given that the Eight Divines also incorporate Elven gods, Altmer would be a reasonable choice as well (and they work great as hybrids).

Sorcerers can fit in pretty much anywhere, but for Stamina in particular, I also want to suggest Nord. In the single player games, they used to come with a Shield (Woad) as their greater power, and Hurricane fits them quite well, too.
If you want to lean more into their skills being sourced by Daedric power, I personally prefer Dunmer.

There is more then class/race

Bosmer (necro just for the DoT passive)with bow skills only

Breton Templer magicka but dual wield daggers

Nord with axe and shield build for heavy bash


etc.
