This requires deciding, arbitrarily, that physical exertion is of paramount importance. By this logic, all competitions that do not involve physical exertion are useless. Let's all throw entire swaths of human competition out of the window.

Nope. Real sports require everything e-sports require PLUS physical exertion. Thus are more demanding and more complex, therefore are better. Also large amounts of human competition SHOULD be viewed with contempt.

Again, if you view games as simulation, you realize that the real competitive activity is always more involved. Fighting for real is more engaging than street fighter. Being a general in real war is more engaging than starcraft. Playing golf is more engaging than tiger wood 2013, etc.
