All I get from your bullet point list is that you don't really like Richard Dawkins. Most of what's in your your list is opinionated and not supportable. I have neither the time nor energy to go through all your scattergun points, but just take this as an example:

He adopts a notion of God from monotheist fundamentalists, often pretending it to represent all religion

Of course he doesn't just construct a notion of God from "fundamentalists". The God Delusion targets belief in God in general, fundamentalist or not. He doesn't need to cover every single monotheistic and polytheistic belief system, as his main thrust is the point they all have in common, that there is no evidence for them. The flying spaghetti monster is just as plausible as God is. You seem to want nuance from him that is not called for. Good for him that he won't be bogged down by mischievous booby traps of that sort!
