I mean, I think nerfing wizards is valid, sure, but you're recognising there's an issue beyond the aesthetic by saying that, aren't you? Just that there are different solutions to the real problem.

Aesthetics is a lot broader than that as a term in English. I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but if you think that's what the word aesthetics is limited to you will not be capable of following this discussion.
From the PHB, page 29: "A lot of humans have a dash of nonhuman blood, revealing hints of elf, orc, or other lineages."
Earth humans cannot be part Elf, Orc, or any other race that doesn't exist in reality. I offer this as evidence that D&D humans can have a physiology much different than Earth humans.

Not physiology...magic.
Further, as to the expectations of what high level characters can do, here's what the DMG has to say:

That's I think more an issue of rolling when not needed. That wizard trained in arcana probably shouldn't have to roll most of the time whereas the barbarian should, possibly with disadvantage. This is likely some DM guidance that could be expanded on in the DMG, it does explain when to roll but some examples might help.

the disparity between Fighter and Wizard, I would address that, but making the Fighter more like the Wizard moves further away from where I want to be.
Give the Fighter more maneuvers, and nerf the Wizard into the ground overall…

some of us have hints of Neanderthal, does not make much of a difference at all…
So you have a slightly hairier chest, or pointier ears, not that much more than that, you eg do not gain darkvision… and the orc or elf also does not get to jump 100 yards or whatever, so there is that
