Should they just get rid of all combat bonus for race passives? Here is my idea for they go about it

Here is what they should do with them, might bring balance and also make it so races do not matter for builds. So people can have freedom of choose of what they want to play instead of being forced into a meta. They program the racial traits to be where there would only be one racial passive that can't be ungraded it gives some benefits like increased exp and other non combat traits along with lore friendly resistances.

Here is how they would look without combat passives and just a one or two percent regen increase's with some races. Along with a few tweaks I added. Like the Imperial gold bonus being 5 percent instead of 1 percent. Why I reduced the lava reduction from 50 to 25 percent is because I don't think dunmer even with their fire resist can withstand lava as much as any other race as they are just not immune to fire damage and I think lava would bypass fire Resistance do to its temperature. As for the Bosmer I think the run speed would be better then the fall damage reduction which should have been something they should add to the khajiit. Run speed might be a better passive then the fall reduction so that is the reason why I changed it.

Basically these changes would remove all combat advantage damage, for sneak builds or regular damage either magicka or stamina of any kind with regen and increased health/magicka/Stamina bonuses so small they would not even be worth playing that race just to get.

Because this is an issue right now. Players are just playing races for either a certain passive mostly combat or sneak bonus and regen. Races should have flavor they have lorewise but they don't need any passives that force players into a meta and takes away the freedom of playing the race they want as I said above. So I'm repeating myself here. I think it would be the best idea really and the most logical if they were to make the following changes I'm suggesting.
