And what about a Dragonknight?

There's barely any lore relating to ESO classes, and what there is is particularly vague, opinionated and contradictory. IIRC there's nothing in it at all that links any of the playable races to any particular classes.

I think it is clear that the devs' aim here is to leave players completely free to choose any race/class combination they want to unrestricted by lore.

There is this lore that tells of Ancient Argonians directed by the Hist to worship the Sun

and this lore description of the Templar - They wield the powers of light and the burning sun to smite the wicked, or to heal and support the wounded.

I would say Warden would be the closest to traditional argonian culture. Both Black Marsh and Morrowind neighbour eachother somthe summons make some sense(Netches are related to swamp jellies). Argonians commune with the hist tree and live in harmony with their enviroment.

The thing with Templar is that its aedric based, with very much a Stendarr theme. Argonians are in average the least likely to worship aedra compared to the other races.

Now, keep in mind any person in tamriel can be the exception instead of the rule. Its entirely possible for an argonian to worship the Aedra.

Not even close. Traditional Argonian lore from all prior TES games has them being both sneaky with magick and great in combat with spears and blades. They even have an entire faction of Nightblades called shadowscales named after them. The most iconic role they have in their entire culture.

I'm sick and tired of Zenimax turning them into more and more generic aztec forest hippies. I wish Zenimax would fix them to be proper and have the actual abilities they are supposed to have because it looks more and more like people don't know what Argonians are supposed to even be like.

"Traditional" argonian depictions were relatively few. We never seen Black Marsh until ESO(well technically arena but..ehh). So what we see now is a good indication of what argonian society is like, and wardens are a good general fit.

Not really addition to argonian-discussion, but Templar-class is clearly designed to fit Redguard lore about Sword Singing where the user conjures a perfect weapon in their hand.

Edit: found this old thread with discussion what race-what class https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/445275/question-for-the-lore-masters

Literally any character can be any race and class combo and it would make sense lore wise. An Argonian Templar could act as a tribal healer or tree tender depending on the tribe your character is suppose to hail from. If your character was born outside of Black Marsh and/or in Slavery, they could have adopted traditions of the cultures they were raised in. This has happened at several points in TES lore BTW, so keep that in mind.

Wanna add that just because ESO templar has a skill line called aedric spear doesn't mean your argonian templar (or any race templar) has to worship or be involved with the aedra. There's plenty to the templar class that can be taken as simple restoration and alteration based magic.

Races and classes don't really connect in TES per se, least of all in ESO. While it is true that some races are inclined for some classes, the connection isn't always firm. While the usual connection drawn is that three races are inclined to be mages (Altmer, Dunmer, Breton), three to be warriors (Orc, Nord, Redguard), three to be rogues (Khajiit, Argonian, Bosmer), and Imperials can be pretty much anything, it doesn't always hold up. For example, Bretons have fine knightly orders (obviously fighters), and are the most magically talented humans in the world at the same time.

The races simply have too many cultural and/or biological variants to draw strict connections for which race fits a certain class. Some Khajiit furstocks (I'm not very good with the names of them, forgive me) are much larger than other races and clearly fit the "fighter" mold, while some are clearly fit for being cat burglars in a very literal sense. I will say that if Khajiit have a cat's senses, those alone would make them formidable at thieving and scouting, but if they have the stamina of a cat, they'd make terrible fighters outside of an ambush, like real cats. Same thing with Argonians, as reptiles have terrible stamina next to humans or most mammals.

Of course, biology isn't the only or even main thing dictating what classes "naturally" go with what races. The Dunmer are divided into their Houses, which have clear cultural leanings for different classes. Specifically, House Redoran is clearly the "fighter" archetype, Telvanni is obviously the "mage", and Hlaalu could be seen as the "rogue" in that they are willing to do whatever it takes to make a septim. Of course, there's also Indoril with its devotion to the Temple, so that would cover "cleric" classes as well, I suppose.

As for Argonians, there's nothing about their biology which predisposes them to be sneaky. The "rogue" stereotype comes from the Shadowscales in their culture, a group of assassins very much like the Dark Brotherhood or Morag Tong. I guess the Naga tribe has a strong "fighter" preference, but each tribe of Argonians is quite different, both in culture, government, sometimes even in appearance. It's hard to draw generalizations about how culture or even biology would impact what classes go well with them.
